sometimes...

sometimes ... I feel frustrated about life's lessons -- haven't I learned enough? guess not.

sometimes ... I am mad at myself because i am not content

sometimes ... the grass is much greener in the working outside the home world(at least I could earn $)

sometimes... when life gets chaotic, I feel like my head is going to spin off

sometimes... I get really sick of my voice

sometimes...I worry about everything small and not enough about everything big

sometimes...I judge

sometimes...I feel judged

sometimes...I really dislike cleaning dirty, gross, boy pee bathrooms

sometimes...I don't like being called "Mooooom"

sometimes...I feel like the discipline I give these kids is far too little

sometimes...I feel like the discipline I give them is far too much

sometimes...I feel like there are so many things i "should" be doing that I just want to quit

sometimes...I am envious

sometimes...I am mad at my body

sometimes...I am not a good wife or mom

the rest of the time, which FAR outweighs the sometimes...I am so happy

...to be married to a wonderful man who works hard for our family and is committed to our happiness 100%.

...to have three beautiful and healthy children who contribute to our family far more than we could ever imagine possible.

...to be able to stay home with these kiddos.

...to have all that we could ever need in life and much, much, more.

...to have a healthy body that does what I need it to and gets me through the crazy times.

...to have the atonement in my life that helps me to understand that when all else fails, I can repent and be forgiven.

what else could I ask for?

We all feel down sometimes and we
know who is making us feel that way. I know I have to keep reminding myself that I was created
by a loving Heavenly Father so there must be something right about
mw, because He doesn't make mistakes, this is a part of our
trials we go through and learn from. You are doing great so lighten up on yourself.

Love Ya, Iris
