But for now, I'm okay with that. We recently decided as a family that I will be continuing my college education for oh, 6 more years or so. The decision was daunting and it required a lot for me to realize that I will not, cannot be the Mom that does everything. Taking a full college load, being a mother of 4 young children, working part-time in addition to being a wife, friend, and very sporadic blogger means I cannot do it all. And on the worst days I can't do any of it.
I'm trying my best for now, to relax about it. I have come to understand that my anxieties are not just my own but a burden on my family and also in direct relation to my trust in God. If He has set me on this path I must trust that each day will take care of itself. My laundry may never be completely done, my kid's might have unbrushed hair and unorganized rooms but ours hearts will be full.
So for now, while school takes priority over mopped floors and alphabetized blu-rays [yes, I do that.] I will do what I can. And what I can do is make this awesome dessert in under 5 minutes. Super easy. not healthy in the slightest, and my kid's loved them. Hopefully when I've finished my Masters I'll look back at this time in our lives and be joyful about the things I let go.
