Ups and Downs

Who said life is easy? ummm pretty sure NO ONE!

I am going through some pretty tough times right now, as a single mom of 4, I must say.

It’s not that I can’t handle it, but my mindset is a bit off these days.

I struggle more with patience than I have ever in the past.

I struggle with understanding why my kids don’t listen or obey when I truly need them to.

I struggle with being able to focus on the task at hand. Instead, I’m seeing this HUUUUGE mountain in front of me, and I collapse, thinking this is impossible. I am not able to achieve everything right this second.. but, I feel the need to be able to do so, and successfully!!

Why do I set myself up for such failure here?

Kids are kids… they cannot be expected to know what I’m thinking, why I am thinking the way I’m thinking, have the same priorities as me, and be as mature and handle all of the daily tasks with such positive attitudes.

I have super high expectations, and the letdown of it all, when it doesn’t play out the way it should, I freak out.

I lose my cool.. big time.

Trying to do better each day, but I feel like I’m getting more overwhelmed.

I need reset…

a mind reset…

Last week, no one got in trouble. THIS WEEK, everyone is getting in trouble.

I knew last week was too good to be something that would last.

Cheers to Wednesday!!!! šŸ™‚ haha

hoping for a better tomorrow.
