Struggle of the Juggle

       Gosh!  It has been a long day.  I'm at my second job~ mothering, cooking, cleaning, helping, driving, etc...  I've thought about getting a second job that pays $, but I struggle to figure out how to fit it in. 
        If I were to do this, it would be so hard to be all "there" for the kids.  They already think I'm too forgetful and a terrible listener.  Little do they realize that my mind is constantly filled with schedules for each child, my own responsibilities teaching, the house, the bills, the grocery shopping, the cooking,  making appointments for dentists and doctors, pick up this one at this time and the many "oh yeah, Mom, I forgot I need..." 
       They haven't discovered the struggle of the juggle.  How do I balance all this and keep myself planted in God's word?  This is a daily battle.  Prioritizing...what's important.  Why is that part of my life the struggle that holds me back from so many things? 
       I feel so much like Paul.  I know what I should do, but I don't do it.  If there is a true solution,  please reveal it to me.

As I start this adventure in blogging, I'm thinking that I will probably learn it the hard way.  I think about that and see the parallel to how I've learned the hard way in my life, too.  Funny how that happens!
