Like most moms, I’m constantly balancing a bunch of spinning plates. Focus too much on anyone and another is going to fall. I can keep the homeschooling plate spinning, but to the detriment of my work. Or I can be the best boss, but then my little one is sad I’m too tired to read her a bedtime story.
This is an issue I’ve been dealing with for so long and I despair of ever being able to figure it out. Little things like dinner in the crockpot help – I know I’ll have a meal for them all at the end of the day – but that really just means I’ve found a way to keep that plate spinning a bit longer.
If you are reading this because you hope I’ve found the solution – sorry! But if you want to know you aren’t alone in your struggle, then welcome my sister! You are not alone! I hope you can just do the next thing and forgive yourself for those things that fall. And I hope I can too!
