Journal post

I am really struggling right now.
I am going to be 29 in a week. That is exciting and weird at the same time.
I am overwhelmed at work, but feel blessed to be guided there daily.
I feel like a terrible mom sometimes and a crappy wife.
I have been exercising and eating right for the last 4 weeks so that should help me feel better shouldn't it?
I know we can't be perfect all the time, but right now I feel like poo.

I guess I need to just count my blessings more and get out of myself more and then life should get better, right?
Any suggestions?

YES! Just know your family and friends love you very much. That's all you need to keep you going. WOW, we are getting old. Lets celebrate life and all the wisdom learned instead of focusing on the age. We've had some great memories and many more to come. Happy Birthday coming up. So excited for you:) I desperately want my next baby to be an october baby!

haha, oh Marilla! I love that we can all relate to having crummy days and feeling like "poo" sometimes! You are such an honest writer that I love to read your posts. Ummmmm, let me think of some suggestions since you asked for them. I guess all I can really tell you about getting older is that I LOVE it!!! haha. I know, I'm not the typical person. I have always LOVED turning older. And, I can't wait until I'm like 60....and 70....and 80!! It's wierd I know. But, It's just the way I feel. I've always been excited to get older. I look at the cute elderly people and I envy all their life experiences that they have had. I wish I could sit down with each of them and just listen to them and what they've learned in their lives. I always think..."wow! They are getting closer to finishing up their jorney's here....I hope it's been as wonderful as the craziest rollercoaster rides out there!" Those rides are the one's that everyone lines up for the most. Nobody wants to ride the "easy" rides because they are the least thrilling. I tell my husband all the time that isn't it just awesome that we are here on eart and living out our lives!!! We were so over-joyed in heaven to come and experience this "ride". I can't wait to turn older so that I can get further on down the journey and have lived out my story. Life is so awesome isn't it?! So, don't be sad...or discouraged...just enjoy even those "climbing" parts....they are part of the RIDE! TaLk To Ya SoOn!

Ha, I so know those feelings...practically every day! If I was Stewart Smally I'd tell you to look in the mirror and say, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn-it, people like me"...but I'm not! Sometimes I just think of how I can serve others to try and get passed some of my personal crap. Other times, I just grin and bear it! Hang in there little toaster, you're doing great!

its so hard to find balance in motherhood. I think it will be an eternal struggle. and the only suggestion i have would be to hug your boys. They love you no matter what. Only you could be their Momma!! Heavenly Father knows your heart and knows what you want to give and who you want to be...I love you!
I'm excited that you are gonna get a new camera! Happy Birthday!
