A Mom's Journey

Expectations

I've been thinking a lot the past few days about expectations.  What are my expectations for the day?  Are they reasonable?  What expectations do other have for me?  Can I fulfill those roles?  Oftentimes the answer I come up with are who knows.  

First for me I expect to have a happy day.  I expect to do certain things with my time.   Usually I get derailed in the first few hours.  Now the days I am not derailed I get most everything done.  I just can't seem to plan for the unexpected very well. 

Now, my husband, kids, my husband's grandmother all have different expectations of me.  These are the ones I am trying really hard to stay on top of.   Mostly they involve dropping everything to handle whatever is necessary.  It is actually very frustrating but my family is the most important thing in my life so I can't begrudge them. 

It really makes life a juggling act.  I just don't know if I can keep catching all the balls I have in the air.
