I'v...Your card is lovely! I love that teapot.<br /><br />I've always been amazed by how much you've been able to do for your family and still get to do the things you love. :)Sparkplug17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11407370582230562783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639749928666496425.post-3397621512494987352009-08-23T12:09:00.040-06:002009-08-23T12:09:00.040-06:00I have this conversation almost every day with my ...I have this conversation almost every day with my sister, my best friend or both! I only have 2 but they have 3 or 4 kids. None of us ever feel like we are able to manage everything we need to. Then I have one friend who has 3 kids (within 5 years of each other mind you) and she almost never complains of feeling like this! She has her off days but I NEVER feel like I'm getting it all done. If I manage to do everything I need to for my girls, then either my house or my relationship with my husband is neglected. If I get the house into the condition I want, then I haven't had time for just me and what I WANT to do. And if I spend a day doing what I want, then the house looks horrible and my family gets needy... There has got to be a good balance - I just haven't found it yet!<br /><br />I worked outside the home with just one daughter - and I no longer know how I did it. I CAN'T IMAGINE how mothers with more than one child work outside of the home.<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment...but I wanted to let you know that you certainly are not alone!<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719874744151382283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639749928666496425.post-63138944548313381972009-08-23T07:01:30.673-06:002009-08-23T07:01:30.673-06:00Cute card Marjorie.

I don't know how mom's do it. There's so much to be done to just "live". Sometimes I let it get the best of me and forget the real purpose of why I'm on this earth. <br /><br />Good luck getting your new primary organized. Intriguing that you have a brand new ward. I hope it all goes well. Primary can be such a hard calling. I've never been in leadership with it but have been pianist and teacher for many years. <br /><br />Well, after my novel here, just know that you are not alone and that I think you're amazing!
