Motherhood

Sometimes, like today, the responsibilities of raising my sweeties completely overwhelms me. I feel so inadequate and so tired. These days usually happen when I'm getting (or already am) sick, or when I'm confronted by a problem that completely throws me for a loop.

I am both sick (with another stinky cold) and I encountered an issue that I hadn't expected. It is nothing life-threatening, but to fix it will take a lot of time, confrontation and effort. I know that it is my duty as a mother to fight for my kids and I willing do so, but wouldn't it be a better world if I didn't have to?

I think that I'm going to give this problem a little breathing room and on Monday hit it head on when I'm feeling more energetic and more emotionally strong. When I do take action, I want to be professional, in-control and logical.

You are an amazing mother, Beth! Don't forget that you don't have to do it all by yourself ;) Let me know what I can do to help...I know you are crazy-busy, sick, and stressed about this issue and I am happy to help in any way I can. Hugs!

Bethany!!! This post worries me!

First off....you are so put together. I know we all have our moments and you do, too. But, you ALWAYS remember what's important. You are collected within when it comes to letting your Heavenly Father guide you to peace. You are a complete inspiration to me in how you handle things and how you prioritize.

I hope this post isn't anything super important. While you said it's not life threatening, there are still so many things that can be life altering.

I hope the baby is okay.

Take care of yourself. Take care of the kids. Call me if you need anything. anything at all.
