The feeling that I am carrying too much on my hands is a reality for me at this present stage of my life. Not only do i feel I am carrying too much, deep down, i know its truly much on me.
I mean, how do mother's cope with taking care of their toddlers while balancing the family and work? Some do with help,while others do it without help at all. Isn't it a reality of carrying too much?
Haa!!! my present phase of life demands so much from me, the fact that i have to take care of my 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old while still trying to meet with family and work responsibilities is a whole lot on me.
Most times, i wake up feeling strong and agile, but go to bed weak, frustrated and drained. Then there are days i wake up tired and confused of facing the day but go to bed, feeling strong and hopeful.
Motherhood is a blessing from God, but it comjes with enormous responsibility.
Sometimes am feeling like am doing too much, or even feeling that I am not doing enough is the painful reality of motherhood. Most times, i fix schedules and routines for everyone, and forget to make space for myself.
I can remember the days the children won't cooperate, work won't go smoothly,datelines needed to be met, everyone and everything demanding my attention at once. But even at that point, nothing seemed to work out fine
Oh those days full of regret, exhaustion, and emotionally drained, yet still having to be that cheerful and happy mum my children always want to see.
Honestly there are some phases of life that demands so much from us that we cant even shy away from them, but we simply have to make up our minds to keep pushing and never give up.
And sometimes i feel guilty for some of the attitude, and discipline that i put up because i was tired drained and desperately needed some rest.
But not withstanding i learnt every day to pick up my pieces, reset my mind, my actions and
make better decisions, never to give up.
one thing i know for sure is that in this God-given gift and blessing called motherhood, i know that my sacrifices will never go unrewarded by God both here on earth and beyond.
Indeed, the reality of life and the feeling of doing too much is something many people can relate to our in different phases of life not far from what it is now.
