Just another day...

I can not believe it is Thursday already. The days slip away so quickly. I remember when I was little, probably around the age of Jesse and Chloe now, my Mom would tell me to enjoy myself because when I was older time would go by much faster. I didn't understand then, but boy do I now. Days don't seem to fly by but years. John and I have been married for twelve years, which means Morgan will be twelve next month, which means Scott will be eleven in October! See how all that flows one after another. I remember when they were both born and to me it was very close to yesterday!

I still don't feel (and John says the same about himself on this one) that I should be left to care for children. In so many ways, I myself still feel like a child. Yes, we pay bills, drive, cook, clean and all the things that come with being an adult. But sometimes when I look at my children I just hope I don't screw them up. Who left me (us) in charge? And have they lost their minds?

The only thing I know I can do is my best. And I have to admit most days my best is not that great. We'll use this week as an example. We have completed school everyday this week (sometimes at 5pm, but finished); however, no housework has been done. (I am waiting on the dryer now to fold clothes, so I'm doing two things at once.) The dishes have been done but maybe not when they got dirty. The clothes put in the dirty clothes hamper but not until today for some of it. Though I try very hard to be this exceptional homemaker and mom and wife and teacher. I am human. And with that, I am slowly learning, means that you can not be perfect all the time. But I continue to try to be as close to perfect as I personally can get...most days.
