Whew, I was on one yesterday, right? I'm sorry about that folks! When I was telling Travis my woes, he very sweetly comforted me and told me that everything was going to be okay, and that when I wake up in the morning, everything will be alright and I'll be feeling much better. Needless to say, he was sooo right! Everything seems worse when you're stressed out! :)
Looking back on that post I realized I was a little harsh, and in reality it wasn't as bad as it seemed. I'm doing much better! Last night as I was reading my scriptures and saying my prayers, I came across a quote by Elder L. Tom Perry, that really helped put things into perspective for me.
"You are children of promise. I hope that you do not plan to just be common but that you plan to excel. There is no place in this world for mediocrity; we need to strive for perfection. You can obtain perfection in so many areas as you seek and work toward the goals you have established."
I realized that although I am not superwoman, I can still try. Besides, I'm fulfilling and magnifying my calling and even though that can be stressful sometimes, it truly is a blessing. So again I apologize for that harsh post! We're all just doing the best we can, and that quote pretty much sums it all up. There is no place in this world for mediocrity. I love it. I don't want to be mediocre, and if that means taking whatever comes my way, or learning to say no, or whatever it may be, I'll do it! :)

You're too cute! I thought yesterdays post was fine because you know what, it's your blog! If you want to vent a bit you have right :) You are a naturally positive person so it's ok to explode every once and a while. You are so busy and have so much going on mentally, physically and emotionally that I'm glad to know you're not Superwoman! I don't have to feel so intimidated ;)
LOVE the quote.. Seriously was something we all needed to be reminded. and for the record I think you are amazing and WAY past mediocre!!
venting is good... regrouping is good too! you got the best of both worlds, and in my opinion you are TOTALLY superwomen!!
I had a bishop use the metaphor that we are all jugglers - some have more balls to juggle than others. Sometimes its okay to set a ball down to practice juggling with fewer balls before we master juggling with more. I believe as we get older and more experienced we become better at juggling and it is definitely okay to drop the ball now and again - its how we learn.
