You finish the phrase. I have definitely fallen of the face of many things lately:
the spending time with God world
the blog world
the sleep world
the cleaning world
the laundry world
the christmas decoration world
the christmas shopping world
the mom world
the wife world
So life has once again gotten the best of me, and I might believe it is at it's worst at the moment. We have been crazy before, rushing around, having too much to do, missing the little things...but only now has it really become unbearable. Travelling and sicknesses and sleeplessness had taken over, and I'm not so much bouncing back. Maybe I've been flattened, equalling no bounce left.
I've tried to find my bounce, and have almost taken a tiny hop every now and then, but the bounce won't bounce anymore. Each day for awhile has become overwhelming...as in I cannot think past my nose, much less actually DO the next thing on the list. I keep trying to think why it is like this:
the baby becoming very discontent and unable to be put down all of a sudden
the husband having to work very late over and over again
the boy pushing his limits and even lying lately
the girl yelling and arguing with a brick wall
the shopping to do
the parenting to attempt
the baths to give
the dinners to cook
the noses to wipe
the puke to clean up
the heart to stop beating crazily
the laundry to wash
the homework to help with
the business that is stressing
the fights to fight
the projects to complete
Things that all of us have to do, every single day. So why on earth does it all seem too much to me?
#1. My time with the Lord has been suffering, so when all of me is used up...quickly, I might add...there ain't nothing left after that. The tank hasn't been refilled to the top in awhile.
#2. Well, it all probably goes back to #1, so there is no need of any other whys in the list.
Sooooooo, I'm trying to fill up my tank, enjoy my family, stop my worries, and somehow find my way back to me again. The me God intends me to be. And hopefully you will not have to wonder what on earth this girl has fallen off the face of anymore.

I have been here and easily fall into this place again and again. One thing seems to start working well and then another falls behind. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. It is refreshing and makes going through the same thing a tad easier knowing I'm not the only one.
Wow! Thanks for the post! I definitely feel your frustration, hurt, honesty, etc. Sometimes I dont even get showered till 5 and most days dont ever leave the house. I am ready to feel like I have every area of my life under control,but I am not sure that will ever be the case! Thanks for sharing and making the rest of us know we arent alone!
Such an honest and realistic post - something all moms and wives face on a near-daily basis! Thanks for sharing and reminding us of what's most important at such a crazy time of year.
Praying! Love you!
I'm so right there with you!
It happens to the best of us:-). So sorry honey, but you are 100% right, when you're off with the Lord everything feels a lot harder. I think you're a fantastic mom, wife, friend, daughter, and you are awesome in your honesty. I will pray that thus week is better than the last!!!!
i love you so much, and i greatly admire your admission of something that many of us like to believe we go through alone. you've spent so much time on your knees for me in recent months, consider this my pledge to do that for you now. miss your face!
One thing i've been trying to do us mentally make a list of what I have done that day instead of sinking in what I didn't get done.
