Sometimes I wonder if my efforts will count
Sometimes my day starts and I wish it hadn’t
Sometimes I feel way down low in the dumps
Sometimes I am totally overwhelmed at the thought of 14 more years of homeschooling – TO GO!
Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough LOVE in me for my family
Sometimes I wish I can start over and get new orders of responsibility
Sometimes I can’t get my essential oils on me quick enough to get me started in my day
Sometimes I believe I’m doing okay and everyone will make it just fine
Sometimes I really believe that I am *dooming* my children
Sometimes I believe I just don’t *cut it* for the job
Sometimes I wish I could just sit still and think
Sometimes I just *hate* clothes shopping for my children
Sometimes I think I am the worse example of a house keeper/homeschooler Mom my girls can ever have
Sometimes my witness as a Christian just isn’t as bright as I’d like before my children
Sometimes I believe the words of the enemy about me *not measuring up*
Sometimes I feel not smart enough to even *teach* my children
Sometimes I put more trust in essential oils ability then in God’s ability to do for me
Sometimes I think I’m crazy to attempt getting my children involved in activities only to WEAR ME OUT
Sometimes I prefer isolation to avoid homeschooling drama in the homeschooling community
Sometimes I wish I had others to pour my heart out to
Sometimes I run the opposite way of homeschoolers because…….
Sometimes I wish I could start all over from Kindergarten with my oldest child
Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to get up, just sleep all day..in my room…alone
Sometimes I get a little tickle in my tummy when my four year old finally catches the difference between a *b* and a *d*
Sometimes I can’t help but smile when I see my children finally grasp a concept they’ve been working on for a while
Sometimes I look forward to starting a new week to homeschool *rightly* this time
Sometimes a gush of joy pitter patters all over my heart when I hear my children quote God’s Word that they learned at home
Sometimes a sense of contentment reaches my heart when I see my children’s mastery in various courses
Sometimes finding new homeschooling friends is worth the wait
Sometimes I feel on top of the world with great success
Sometimes I can’t get enough of hanging with other homeschoolers
Sometimes I don’t have to measure up……but just *do* and *be*
Sometimes I shake my head in amazement when the directions given to my children are followed the first time given
Sometimes I gloat just a little when my entire house is clean
Sometimes I do the same thing (gloat) when a delicious, hot dinner is on the table
Sometimes I do it even more (gloat) when I’ve mustered up the *I can do it attitude* and go clothes shopping for my children
Sometimes I get so sad when I realize that my homeschooling years will soon come to an end
Sometimes I wonder what life will be like not to be homeschooling or have my children around ALL. DAY. LONG.
Sometimes I am so full of love that I feel I will burst
Sometimes I am overwhelmed at all the Lord has called me to in this season of my life
Sometimes I wonder if God ever shakes His head at me
Sometimes I still myself to hear the Lord say, “Well done. Keep Going.”
Sometimes I enjoy being me
Sometimes I never forget that God is enough and sufficient
Sometimes I get sheer delight when I can find a spot to sit and be still in my mind, my body and my emotions
Sometimes I enjoy doing what I’m called to do
Sometimes, sometimes is good enough
Sometimes I grasp the understanding of everything being in it’s own season
Sometimes….

Yep…that pretty much says it all Angela. It’s just good to know that I’m not the only one who has those thoughts going through my head. Thanks for sharing!!
