Brick Jacket

 These days I wake up walk, in to my closet, get dressed for my day. No matter what i put on It feels like a brick jacket. The weight sometimes feels as though I will crumble beneath it. My head is spinning: Kids (School Work, Tests, countless activities, their physical and emotional well being, drive them everywhere, all the time) Husband (increased irritability, no time to spend with him, frustrated with him, love him anyway) My business (financially operates like a hamster on a wheel, can't dedicate the time it requires due to demanding family life, demanding and complicated employees) Personal Finances (out of control, own two homes with negative equity, paycheck to paycheck, debt that seems impossible to pay off, dreams that can not be filled due to finances). These things all seemed managable but lately they feel heavier and heavier, a feeling I know millions of other households and women are feeling.  It's hard to give 110% to each area and feel like your failing in all of them anyway. The key is to not crumble no matter what. Look in to your childs beauitful eyes and smile, do not take THEIR hope away. Be thankful for all the burdens that you DON'T have. Despite hpw you feel spread joy to someone else and feel life get a little lighter. even if only for a moment.
