The Balance of Wearing Many Hats

There is no hiding it....When you are a momma and you work a full time job - its inevitable...You become the hat juggler. The trick is how to do it. And I am not certain I know anyone who can tell you how that is done.  So really this post is just another momma venting about how to juggle it all.

First and foremost, its no secret, those who are closest to us see the ugliest side of us. Right!?

My sweet man, how do I make sure he is taken care of on a daily basis?  I remember the days I could actually cook a great meal. But now with more demands in our home, it seems as though little things like cooking a good meal gets pushed to the side. Second grade homework, feeding all the animals, working out, etc, trumps a home cooked meal..Unless you call chicken finger salad home cooked.

How can we be all we can out places of employment? 
I love my job! That's where I give back to my community. Where I feel I make a difference for my county.

And a great mom? Making sure that homework is done the best way possible and we are actually teaching our babes something in midst.. To make sure I am not just sending my sweet littles to schools, but I am an active parent. That I attend their school parties and field trips.

How do we make sure that we aren't just living day in and day out barking orders at our kiddos about cleaning their rooms and picking up their toys, but we are actually teaching them life lessons about being responsible?


And the most important thing in my life is my quiet time..my study time...and truly I have learned to just fit it in all through my day.  There have been seasons in my life where I can stay on track and set aside time in the morning and start my day with studying and prayer. But I always always end with my devotions and prayer, no matter what.

So really the mix of life right now is just me, a momma, a wife, a worker, a lover of God, a wanna be farmer, runner, daughter, sister,  aunt, friend, and whatever else is leftover...
