Karma

Have you every laid awake in bed, complimenting yourself on everything you got accomplished during the day. For example, you got your daughter off to school this morning after you had a shower and got ready for the day, cleaned up the breakfast dishes before 8:00 am. Got your son to football on time, and watched his game without thinking of the millions of things you need to get done. After football go to Costco, Home Depot, and the bank all before meeting the kindergarten bus for early out day. Fix and clean up lunch. Do homework, catch up the books for your small business, take a walk with kids, do two loads of laundry, run the vacuum through the house, make a new recipe for diner, cleaned up diner, bathed all three kids, read stories, put the kids to bed, set down and watched re runs of “Scrubs” with hubby. All this while keeping a 3 month old fed, clean and happy. Your final thought is “Man, I got it all together”.

The next morning you wake up 30 minutes late, decide to skip the shower, your daughter misses the bus, your son spills milk and it does not get cleaned up for hours because the new recipe you made last night for diner has given your breastfed 3 month old a tummy ache and he screams every time you put him down. You eat lunch and diner at McDonalds and you have lost your temper so many times that you have stopped counting. You finally dose off to sleep in the recliner with a baby asleep on your chest and you are content to stay there the rest of the night because at least the baby is asleep. Your final thought is “Will I ever get it together?”
