I have to make a conscious effort to stay off of the computer, and not let my boys watch too much tv, and to stop cleaning. I could clean house, wash clothes, yada yada yada.. you get my drift, right? Haha Just don't be too hard on yourself. That's what Satan wants is for you to focus on the bad, and let the kiddos get the lashing out at, or whatever. You know what needs to be done, just pray every day (one day at a time) that God would help you plan your day and make it to lunch time. Then, at lunch time pray that He would help you have the patience, and again help plan your afternoon, until dinner time. At the end of your day, then give him thanks for everything! I have been doing this everyday, and it's helped tremendously!! I find myself in a constant prayer all day long or just thinking about how I can live better for Him. I can't even imagine how overwhelmed you are with the homeschooling, but I will put you in my prayers!Trishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605362527589397233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590925091135778515.post-69574235780760062902009-04-02T11:22:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:22:00.000-07:00Sheri, I can so identify with alot of what you are...Sheri, I can so identify with alot of what you are saying. (I am glad to know I am NOT alone) I struggle with just getting my 1 child up and to school and fed at night and bathed on a halfway regular schedule. Not to mention the homework her "social problems" church and just life in general. I always chose to leave housework til LAST, then it smacks me in the face, hard. It is very hard to balance everything,especially with me I am a single mom with no help and get very little if any "me" time. I like Trisha am trying to pray daily. (I am now gonna try praying in segments as she suggested)<br>Hang in there God is preparing you for greater things.<br>Tell CJ hi for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590925091135778515.post-40264497652090315092009-04-02T13:14:00.000-07:002009-04-02T13:14:00.000-07:00I think we must be twins separated at birth.
