sierciaI realized after making my last entry that it sounded rather whiny towards the end, and I don't think I meant it to be as much so as it did.
I think the hardest thing about the juggling act that I do is that I *want* to do all of the things I do, and I want to do them all well. I want to be a good mother (and it's almost impossible to know what that means since no one agrees beyond that yuo shouldn't beat your child), I want to be a good wife, I want to at least carry my weight at work, even if I'm not the best employee, I want to give my friends as much time as they deserve, and I want the me-time that I need so badly to keep myself on an even keel. Balancing all of those is nigh impossible, especially once you throw in my devotion to a few very time consuming hobbies (gardening, stitching, reading) that although I love them, also sometimes make me feel stretched too thin (have to read for bookclub, committed to making stitched presents, etc.).
Part of me knows how blessed I am that my hardest tasks are balancing a daughter, a loving husband, a well-paid challenging job, and an abundance of friends. But the tired, stressed out whiny part of me just wishes it was just a little bit easier.

Hang in there sis, it won't ever get better, but it probably won't get too much worse.
