Kids,
I am probably so tired right now that I am totally awake. I think I slept nearly 3 hours last night. What is worse, my appellate brief scares the crap out of me (yes, I said crap). To add even more insult to injury, tomorrow I have 3 classes and I have not read for one of them (it is now 8pm-thank God my children are home so I do no have to look for them). Anyway, I have been doing my best to maintain everything in my life: school, kids, church, life. Kids, mom has been dropping every single ball.
Although I usually want to sing Kumba Yah (forgive the spelling), right now, I am just simply stretched and overwhelmed. The lesson in this is to do your best to plan out not just your life, but your happiness. I know that sounds silly, but you have to make sure you are happy at every stage in your life. Sometimes that will seem impossible, but I promise you it is not. As you go through your life, make sure you make decisions for you, and not to please others. That will seem crazy while you are living home, but I assure you it is possible even when mommy or daddy tell you to do something you don’t want to do. The key is to be happy overall.
As I go through the next stage of my life, I have accepted the fact that I can and am absolutely happy. I have a family who loves me, and I am working toward a dream of mine.
OK, enough rambling. What I need to do is figure out where I left my phone.
Love,
Mom
