Or being mad that your family did their chores but did them wrong so you have to redo them yourself! Am I right or am I right? I know, I know… I may be stepping on some toes here but I’ve learned to let them do it for the most part and try to let go that they didn’t fold the towels how I fold them, or didn’t put the cookie sheet back where it should be.

I had to leave the other night right after supper to take my son somewhere and when I got back 2 hours later I saw supper still sitting on the oven, where it was when I left, 2 hours ago…… did anyone else think, oh maybe I’ll put that away so it doesn’t go bad? I guess not. It’s not like I wasn’t at work all day, then running kids around, sure I have time to put supper away after 2 hours, I’d love to do that when I get home from a long day, right?? Right!

When I was a teenager I used to think, I can’t wait to be an adult. I’ll get to make my own decisions and have my own house and family. Now that I am the adult, I think, man I wish I could go back and live with my parents again, not have to make decisions and raise kids because I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE my kids and family more than anything and wouldn’t change my life but being an adult isn’t all I thought it was going to be when I was a teenager. Most of the time I wonder to myself, who put me in charge of these extra humans? Like, when you leave the hospital after having your 1st baby and think what?? I’m not ready to go, can the nurses go home with me too? Turns out they can’t go with you!

I find it odd that my least favorite “adult chore” is not laundry or dishes or vacuuming… no, mine is figuring out what to eat for supper EVERY NIGHT! Then it turns out 2/5 of my family don’t like what I made anyways!! And I’m not the mom who says oh, well honey what would you like? I’ll make you something else! No, I’m the, you eat this or a peanut butter sandwich mom!

I really do love being a mom! It’s the hardest most rewarding job title I’ve ever been given!! I feel like these are just some of the things we don’t really talk about unless were out with our girlfriends and even then we think, thank God I’m not the only one!! LOL!

But lets take a minute today to actually Thank God for the amazing humans he’s placed you in charge of if you’re a Mom or a Dad for that matter! He doesn’t give you more than you can handle and when you’re feeling overwhelmed, just ask him for some guidance!! He knows exactly why he put you where you are! He has all your answers!
