Confession: Sitting Down Now.

Today, I decided that I can not be everything. Teacher, Mother, Raw Chef, hostess, crafter, housekeeper, spiritual leader, a cover model, and….you guessed it, Father. When your husband is a traveling salesman, it is glamorous at first. He brings you home chocolates and trinkets from exotic countries and cultures….yea! Lately, not even the chocolate (85% cocoa) is working for me.
Just when I begin to be successful in one area of my life, like keeping house or preparing a few good meals, I have one moment of pride, before I see other parts of my life fall apart. I don’t know how you all do it out there. You have time to lunch with friends after serving on the PTA and you still get home before your kids do. You have dinner at 6:30 every night without fail. And you look AMAZING!
Maybe I put too much on my plate. Maybe it is because I am getting old. Maybe it is because everything I do has to be done perfectly which naturally takes more time. Whatever the case, I should probably let something go….only too bad for me, I can’t figure out what so……I’m just going to sit down today……here I go…sitting down now……….
