Are Projects Even a Possibility?
Rocking in a worn, overstuffed recliner comatose from late nights with an infant, my brain clung to reality, but tears flooded resolve. My life was no longer my own. I was exhausted trying to keep my previous pace.
Would I ever rest again? Would I ever finish another project?

Most moms of young children can relate to this. I find myself asking this question a lot. With 4 at home and all that that entails, I wonder if I will ever even be able to make homemade bread or even just finish cleaning out a drawer. Sigh.
But I have to always remind myself that all too soon they will be up and gone and I will head kicking and screaming into my empty nest. Enjoy your recliner and snuggle that baby!
Anna-Marie,
Yeah, that baby is now almost eleven. Sigh. And my youngest is wanting to be cuddled less. Double sigh. They do grow up quickly, even though some days creep by.
Soon your daughters will be making the homemade bread. You can enjoy it while you sort things in the kitchen. ;)
Yep! I can relate. The last few years I kept telling myself, as soon as they’re in school all day I’ll be free to work on projects again. But then, oddly enough, I started homeschooling them. What was I thinking??? :)
I was thinking of them.
I have a hard time breaking things down into steps and STOPPING when the next step is complete. My brain, my body, my entire being, rebels against this! I’m learning it, slowly.
