The Weight

The weight of it all.

Single momming is not for the weak, I tell ya!

Some single parents are WAY better at it than others.

At least, that's my perception.

We are all worthy, though. That's for sure.

Truth be told, this is often how I feel.

I do my best to carry it quietly.

Somedays, I drop.

Yesterday was one of those days.

In bed at 1:30 pm, not to get out until this morning.

Somedays, my kids suffer.

Never intentionally, that's for sure.

But, somedays I just really mess it all up.

Then I get up the next day and try again.

Although this is my mortal weight to carry, I KNOW that I am not alone.

I KNOW that Heavenly Father carries SO much of the weight for me.

Daily.

Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother love me and they love my boys.

I know that to be true.

Somedays, I wonder how I'll buy milk.

Or gas.

Somedays, I wonder when the last time was that I actually made a sit-down for everyone dinner.

Somedays, I write love notes for everyone and deep clean the house.

Somedays, I cry.

Somedays, I laugh.

EVERY DAY, I love my people with every bit of my soul.

EVERY DAY I am so thankful that my kids are mine.

EVERY DAY I know that I am worthy.
