Ever feel like everything is happening at once? It is. This is not your imagination, it is a fact. Take this week, for me, for example. We are moving into a new house, my mother-in-law is visiting, my kids are taking their state tests at school, and one of our cars has decided now is a good time to leak oil. It never ends. I know we all think that times like this are few and far between, but they really aren't. Last month my oldest daughter started to date, my son had to see a specialist for headaches,and another car was doing badly. Before that my hours were cut at work and we found out another kid might have learning problems and needs to be tested.
So, if you feel like your life is a never ending cycle of emergencies and big decisions, it is. That is life, and life is fundamentally unfair. No one has it easy. Money doesn't matter. Good kids do not matter(although I'd rather have them than troubled ones, the point is that they don't make life any easier) . Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and let's face it, life is worth doing, therefore it can't be easy. You have to work at it and take things as they come the best you can and look for the bright sides. My bright sides? The new house is bigger and we have plenty of time to get our things into it. My Mother-in-law will be here to help with the kids, and if the car dies we were going to get a new one soon, now we just have to do it sooner and it's more likely I'll get what I want. When things calm slightly and I have a moment to breathe, I'll wonder what I was so worried about in the first place. Then something else will break, someone else will get sick, or someone else will visit and things will be moving at the speed of light again.
I'm not sure I'd want it any differently.
