I'm not letting myself get "bored", always keeping busy and it just benefits my family in the long run. We need to fix this not being IRL friends! We live so close to each other! Let's make it happen soon! Okay!

Anyway, I am glad that you decided to take the time to fast and pray. I feel like the enemy saw that you were trying to grow closer to God, and work on your relationships, and grow closer to your family and he took the opportunity to attack you. I know as a full time working mom that it is so hard to stay focused and organized, and still be nice to your family. We are being pulled in a hundred different directions and it is just mass chaos at all times in our heads. I just want to stress that you are not a failure!! Don't get down on yourself, just keep trying. I think it is a daily battle that we fight with the enemy. You just have to wake up EVERY morning and pray and just ask God to take over for us, and then do the best that we can do. I am learning (slowly) to trust that promise, and give God control of the things that I clearly cannot handle on my own.<br /><br />Keep working at it! Just the fact that you tried this and lasted the full 26 days proves that you are a great mom, and a great wife. And I'm sure that they all know it!<br /><br />And, by the way, considering we are not "real life friends", I really missed you on the Social Networks! :)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260425081955626847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599490556495496820.post-14409799137219311862014-01-25T23:08:43.383-06:002014-01-25T23:08:43.383-06:00Girl!

I feel like I always have a 'plan' and then it gets shot to hades and back. Between my ebay stuff, schoolwork, 'house' business, kids, sports!!! AHHHHHHHH! I just want to pull my hair out sometimes. I have decided to look at it like this: we do the best we can and that is all we can do. Right? Do we have bad days, weeks or even months?? Sure. That is life. Do we love our family....most of the time...I'm kidding! You are a good Momma and your family is lucky to have you! I know I feel lucky to have you! Love ya sista fran ;)cheftracilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420460947000234088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599490556495496820.post-10303822195567798512014-01-25T20:21:03.985-06:002014-01-25T20:21:03.985-06:00Karen you are so sweet!

Second, I am completely baff...First, I missed you. Second, I am completely baffled that you could think you failed in any aspect of being a good wife and mother! I've read your posts on fb for years and I've always been amazed at the way you spend so much time decorating, couponing, crafting, and all of those other "Supermom" activities while working full time. And doing it all with a great sense of humor and an obvious love for your family and your life. Don't set the bar so high that it's impossible to reach. To me, a perfect wife and mom is the one with a happy and well-adjusted family. Not the one with the cleanest house.
