blessings

If you haven't noticed life can get a little crazy and overwhelming

and it is really easy to let it get you down 

I have been a little down lately or maybe just worn out

mostly I've been having a hard time balancing all the different emotions, ideas, feeling and energy levels of the 6 people that share this house

and this parenting thing

IT'S REALLY HARD

sometimes in all the chaos

I forget to take time for myself 

when I take some time for myself.... 

I usually feel guilty because I should be doing something more...

and then I come  home to discover that no one did my jobs while I was gone

and then sometimes that make me upset 
crazy I know

but I am working hard at changing my perspective
I am truly very richly blessed 

my front porch may resemble a dumping ground

but am very lucky to have a beautiful home

I stumble over shoes every time I go in or out

but we have 
the time and the means to play a few sports
where we have meet any wonderful friends 

so instead of looking down

I'm trying to look up!

and I will try to enjoy the mess a little more

besides she loves to help me

and my favorite flowers have started to bloom and they are amazing 
and they will be here clear till October!!

And just in case you are wondering
I'm cleaning my front porch!
I put some flowers out there to help spruce it up a little

Happy sunflowers!
