Crazy huh? I have lots to do ...just can't seem to get things done. you know the story of rat in the cage spinning on the wheel but getting no where? that is me. I really would love to just go to sleep and wake up and our daughter be home and all the bills would be paid and we would all be happy. I keep thinking one day someone will wake me up from this nightmare I have found myself in. No such luck.<BR/>Our home is full of memories that I can't seem to escape and I have lots to do just can't seem to make myself do them. To painful. Wow, I have just said alot and I bet I have confused you. I have not talked to our daughter since Oct. 14th ...(we have tried but she will not call us back)she is in rebellion and seeking advice from those who are not giving sound Godly advice.<BR/>I know God is in control and will work things out...its just hard right now. <BR/>All of this to say... <BR/>Have you tried Flylady? there is a link on my blog. It does work and it helps when life gets so out of control.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>DarleneDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874884804640126359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982218411271262325.post-25966753906297679962008-12-29T20:26:00.000-06:002008-12-29T20:26:00.000-06:00I think all of us from time to time feel overwhelm...I think all of us from time to time feel overwhelmed. Of course this year you had your load of stuff to deal with at the holidays and it is no wonder that you might be feeling some pressure.<BR/><BR/>Priortizing my day helps me alot. And realizing that some days I just can't get "everything" done but if I can at least tackle those things that I had marked "Priority" - it makes me feel like I have accomplished something.<BR/><BR/>The other thing that I have had to "learn" to do is to not get overwhelmed and stressed when I can't handle everything. The only thing that gets accomplished with that is I feel MORE overwhelmed and MORE stressed.<BR/><BR/>Apostle Paul said it best ""I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am."<BR/><BR/>Now if we could just learn alittle quicker huh?<BR/><BR/>love you. How's your Mom's rehab going?<BR/><BR/>love, LaurieLAURIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486313421145067150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982218411271262325.post-48843671105170121242008-12-29T17:06:00.000-06:002008-12-29T17:06:00.000-06:00I love the part of Phil. where it talks about Him ...I love the part of Phil. where it talks about Him giving us His peace AS we trust in Him.

But really, we wear alot of hats and there are just those times you have to realize that you are not superwoman/supermom. I stuggle with not being perfect, so it is hard for me to let things go or just take it easy. I do have to say that this Christmas season was the most overwhelming for me. I love the verse 1 peter 5:7...It is a great one! Sometimes hard to apply, but just to know that He is waiting for us to cast our cares on Him is a relief.<BR/>Blessings friend!<BR/>MimiHe & Me + 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03692972824923390203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982218411271262325.post-56871575747059935162008-12-29T12:49:00.000-06:002008-12-29T12:49:00.000-06:00OH sure that one went through and it wasn't nearly...OH sure that one went through and it wasn't nearly as good as my first comment lol. <BR/>Are you laughing?
