Can I have more hours?

I'm so tired, I don't know whether I'm coming or going. I'm sure many people can relate. I really never thought I would be one of those who would say "I need more hours in my day" . . . . but I'm about to join those ranks. It's really even hard to describe. I get some things done some of the time, but not all things done all of the time. And it's a hard thing to decide what's most important. Of course I want to always put God first, and family next . . . but what about when you have something on the calendar that is a church function, and then your family outside of the area wants you to come to their house for a special visit . . . . how do I put a priority on it all? We're supposed to build our church, build friendships, but also our family needs us . . . I guess at this point we have to decide who needs us more? Some would say "what was on the calendar first?" But that's a sticky issue as well. I think we're going to try and do both . . . but who suffers ultimately? Our little foursome - because we'll all be tuckered out and grouchy with each other when the weekend winds down and we've not connected as much as we would have liked. I know there has to be many families that struggle with the "balance of time" issue. Who do we give our time to? AHHHHH.

Today I'm watching my 5-month old nephew. My 6-year old son is home from school, and coupled with my 2-year old son, it makes for a party that reminds me that I'm pretty ok with just having two kids. That is not to offend any of you who have more children, nor is it meant to offend those who have no children and want some! I'm happy to help out my sister . . . and any additional people who seem to come a calling (yeah, the SAHM gets the calls, LOL) . . . and I try not to let my hissy attitude get the best of me. But there you have it. Honesty.

Right now the nephew is asleep, and my Little L is crying his fits of not wanting his nap, but he's in his bed, nonetheless. GRRRR. He usually goes right to sleep, but I guess today he thinks he might win a different battle. I just brewed some coffee to give me a pep . . . so ta-ta for now.
