Friday Morning.... Is there enough coffee??

03 August 2012

Not sure what is up with my girls this morning.... everyone (including myself) is in tears!!  Seems like nothing is going to be simple today.  We have made it through two surgeries on two different girls this summer (Adyson with tubes and Audrey with tube removal and adenoids taken out) and Bobby's two wrestling trips... so, yes summer is still as hectic in this household as any other time of the year.  
I try to remember that it isn't right to be jealous of others and what they have compared to what I have... but, this morning I am struggling to maintain that good christian attribute!  I would love to have some of the luxuries that others seem to have.. i.e. vacations and days off from reality! I can't remember the last time that I had only one responsibility... taking care of myself and being in charge of only my happiness.   I realize that this sounds extremely self-centered and selfish, but I would like a day every seven years to be selfish!  
I'm not asking for pity or even an "I know how you feel" - I just felt like putting into words the emotions that seem to be taking over my morning.  I know that my feelings of being overwhelmed is the most likely the problem with all my sweet peas this morning... they are feeding off of my tears and emotions... but, sometimes I just can't help myself :)  So, another cup of coffee and maybe I will stare at the screen saver picture on the computer of the deserted beach!!!
