the pressure of failure is looming and glooming me. i am stretched too thin and am "dropping the ball" on many of my commitments. i am not good at failing. i am usually good at saying no as to not set myself up for failure, but this time i feel like i can't shed anything. and so i fail. and i am paralyzed into non-activity which turns into more failure which turns into a deeper sense of gloom.
anyway, off to try and muster enough wherewithall to clean my house as the inlaws are arriving in 2 hours and my house is not in an in-law presentable state. add it to the "failure" list.....

aw laurel.
turn that frown upside down.
make lemonade!
setting all nuttiness aside, my advice is this:
your 'failures' as a wife and mother, though they may seem great in your eyes are not. but they are a testimony to how you are growing kids, no grass. your house is a place of refuge and sword fighting.
this doesnt make you a failure, it makes you 'accessible'.
you're a mom.
you're a wife.
you're a super-awesome-rockstar-friend.
you're a princess of the most high king.
you're doing just fine.
don't listen to the voices in your head, you can't trust them. believe me, i know.
listen to all of use who love you...listen to me!
we're on your side, your teammates in life.
now go lay down and watch kath & kim.
i'll bring you some muffins in the morning.
