overworkedmom

I’ve always wanted to sit down and start a daily journal of my life. Every time I start one, I end up abandoning it within the first 2 weeks. Lately I’ve been trying to take some time for myself. As a full time worker and a full time mom, there is little time to do what needs to be done, finding time for myself is a big challenge. For Example, just from the start of this blog I’ve had to stop so many times that it has taken almost 2 hours to get to this point. I feel so overwhelmed at times, and I feel guilty for wanting some time for myself, but a person can only be selfless for a certain amount of time before they need some care given back to them. Most people have jobs where there are set hours that they have to work, then they can come home and enjoy their family (or start the “second shift”- home life). Working at a church there are no set hours. There are hours where you have to be in the office, or doing something specific, but church work is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is always someone or something that needs attention. It is the same at home, but with parenting, there are no monetary rewards. It’s not that a church pays well, but it does keep the bills paid, even if that’s all it does.

I’m not sure if anyone will even care to read my blogs, and if they do, I’m not sure anyone will get anything out of it. But I am glad that I will be able to take the time to write about my life an my experiences so that I can go back in a couple of years and hopefully laugh at what I’m crying over now. I’m sure future blogs will make a little more sense, but I also know that I will not write them while both of my children are awake and needing their mommy…
