When I wrote the post Scheduling to Schedule, I felt like a BIG loser in the “Mom” world, because so many moms can juggle babies, house work, volunteer work and even full time work amazingly, that I find myself often feeling inferior. But it was so amazing to hear the comments and emails that I received from that post and what was even more ironic, I came across 2 different posts that same night from Renee (Me, Myself and Mommy) and Christine that were very encouraging also.
Wow, maybe God is telling me that it is okay to feel a little inferior. And no, I can’t do it ALL on MY own. And yes, my priorities are somewhat in line, because my relationship with my boys, above house work and blog work, needs to come first. Do I need to continue to work at being a better mom and wife? Yes, but now I am little bit more encouraged to know that I am not the only one trying to figure this out!
I realized that I am definitely not alone in this journey of being a better mom, wife and friend. That in my admission of my faults, I helped others get inspired to re-evaluate their priorities. I can’t wait to hear the stories from all of you who sent me some love from that post, because we are in this together! Please keep me updated on the good things you are doing.

I shall post about my adventures in slacking, I mean scheduling, next week. Thanks for helping to keep me accountable!!
just wanted to give an update. so i would not be a hypocrite, it took everything in me to get the energy to go jog today. but like most of you, school, kids…WHEN was i going to do it! being spoiled by the summer, adjusting to this new schedule is next to impossible. so i did not get to jog all week, did not get around to the dishes..but did pretty good overall. so today, i was like “I’m gonna run, i have to!” oldest in school, one of the twins w/ therapist..i looked at koen and said “lets go” grabbed the backpack (you put kids in) from the basement dust, strapped koen in and hit the road. yes! ur right, i looked like a complete fool! went once around the block, but probly burned all the calories i needed. whew! yes, i know i’m out of my mind! but so excited i did. now if the dishes would just wash themselves
It often appears that other women are super moms who excel at everything. So it’s good to read how other women struggle in getting it all done. I guess if we focus on what’s really important in life (God and families), the other stuff just doesn’t really matter. Hmmmm…wonder if that means I don’t have to exercise or clean anymore!
Hey I kinda like that idea, if only we could figure out a way to make that work. Ha ha – a perfect body without working out and a beautifully clean home while sitting and eating bon-bons. Now that would be perfect – LOL
