Child of God, Daughter, Friend, Wife, Mother…
I feel like I have so many hats to wear (hence the title of this blog) and not enough time and energy to be 100% in any of them.
I think my biggest flaw is lack of time management, that and how to prioritize.
I have a rough time juggling time, people and responsibilities.
I can’t figure out exactly how I want to use this blog, a big reason I haven’t blogged in almost a month.
I’ve been hyper-focused on crocheting, while watching The O.C. and One Tree Hill.
Sometimes I feel like my life is passing me by.
I feel lost and without purpose.
That makes me sad.
I wish that I had the guts and self esteem not to care what other people thought of me.
It’s around this time, post having a baby, that I start to get a little edgy, depressed, cycling through moods, desperately needing counseling and meds.
I’m scared.
I love my husband and I’m thankful that he loves me and supports me.
I need to make more time for the Lord.
I’m crying.
I’m tired.
Too many hats.

Oh my dear friend, many many hugs to you! I was there too, and if you’d like to hear what I did, let me know and I’ll let you know, and maybe it will be of some help to you.
For now, I’ll just offer a hundred cyber hugs and hope that they make you feel a little bit better.

Oh dear friend, I lift your name up to our heavenly father this day. I have been there too.
But, don’t fret. Continue to trust. It’s times like this where God’s light shines the brightest. He takes us to the places of realization so we can see that we need HIM for direction and not relying on ourselves.
May you seek Him this day for godly direction and find peace in knowing that the ONE who calls you His child, will never leave you nor forsake you.
Blessings this day!!

I have so much to say, but I prefer to say it out loud versus typing!
I do want to say that you are AMAZING at being every thing you are, wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, and anything in between!
You inspire me to be better in all of my roles, and only someone as amazing as you could do that!
Love you, I will call you in the morning
I’m so sorry to hear that you are feeling this way V.
Thinking of you.
Man V, I feel like I could have wrote some of that myself. I feel like I am pulled in every direction and it gets so overwhelming that I feel like I am not really succeeding in any of the roles. At times it gets so overwhelming that you start to feel like you are circling the drain. Just know that you are much harder on yourself than anyone else is.
I was having a hard week last week. Really hard. Like so hard that driving off a cliff seemed like not such a bad idea kind of hard week. A smart lady (Natasha) sent me this quote:
“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think”
-Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh
It is so true. You are so much more than you give yourself credit for. You have a beautiful soul, a heart of gold and everyone who knows you sees it sweetie. Lean on God, your friends and your family and things will get brighter in time.
I am thinking of you. Hugs
