Ok, THANK the LORD Sarah posted on her blog about being thankful and not complaining. I needed to read that! It was like the Holy Spirit was tapping me on the shoulder (and by tapping me on the shoulder, I mean pounding me on the head).
I have been in a slump lately. Don't get me wrongI have so LITTLE to complain about. We had about the best Christmas and holiday break ever! I felt blessed beyond measure. My time was so precious with my family. I treasured every second...honestly! But in my "other life", my work life, I have been struggling. And really, it has a lot to do with how great my "real life" is. I miss my real life when I'm at work! I won't go into detail. but this year has been choc full of changes. And, if you know me, I like change just about as much as a going to the dentist. So add that to feeling like I'm missing tons of growing up time with my girls, and I've been one big, fat, Eeyore!
SOOOO, I need to just start opening my mouth a little wider (Sarah DID say I was loud!) and start praising Jesus for the opportunities He has blessed me with. I have a great job. Heck, who cares if it isn't great? During these tough economic times, I should praise Him if I have a rotten job...any job! Thank you Lord, for blessing me with a wonderful husband, children, family, friends, and job. I live to serve and praise You and I will do a better job at it!
P.S. I am also VERY VERY thankful for the beautiful bracelet that a new, dear friend Linny brought me back from Uganda. It is gorgeous and it will remind me to pray for her family, and for all those strong, beautiful, smart, loving orphans in Africa.
Merry Christmas 2021

I'm glad my post helped you. Your post shows how different we are, I LOVE going to the dentist because my teeth feel so clean when I get done. I get so excited when I see I have an appointment soon. OK, I know I need to get a life.
Be grateful for what you have, and not wish your life away for what you don't... there is always a plan, just be thankful.
I am thankful for my job, and knowing that I am not alone in this crazy world we call work.. and I want to let you know that you are not alone in your feelings of missing out.. been there done that, there is never an easy answer.

DEAR SWEET PICKLES, I HAVE ONLY ONE COMENT TO SAY TO YOU....YOU ARE TOOOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.TAKE CARE AND I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH.MOM SADLER
I think part of what you are feeling is normal after the busyness of the holidays and it is normal to feel this way because you are a working Mom. I know that you do like your job and like all jobs they don't always run smooth at times. It is hard to leave those precious little girls every day, but they are so glad and happy when they see their Mama and Baba. You do have some advantage with your job where some mothers do not. You get school time off and summers off. You are a good mother please remember that and God has blessed you and Tony with two beautiful little girls.
God will bless you through all of this.
