moments up..moments down..

There are moments..
or days..
or weeks..
as a single mom
when life seems to be moving in fast forward!

Its not always like that..
sometimes you feel in control.
sometimes you feel relaxed.
sometimes you feel comfortable.

and sometimes?
you are just holding on
and your life spins and spins around you!

I cannot even imagine
having a personal life...
I have my hand full with the kids and work!
and right now is a season,
when I am watching it all spin..
like a merry go round.
I jump on..
spend time with the kids.
jump off...
breathe a moment.
jump back on...
take care of the house.
Jump off..
breath a moment.
jump back on...
take the kids to their activities.
jump off..
breathe a moment.
Jump back on..
spend time exercising.
Jump off..
breath a moment.
Jump back on...
head to church or work...
off and on, off and on..
and so it goes..
round and round and round...

ITS a merry go round
and sometimes the tune is happy and light..
and sometimes its grating and annoying,
and sometimes I can hardly hear it over the noise around me!

But, this is my life!
and I have reached the place
I would rather be on this crazy merry go round
then watching it spin by!

  2. Ah yes I know what you are feeling oh so well! At times I want to scream, let me off! Those days are when I take a take a well needed personal day, for just me.
