I think if we are doing our best, and putting the people and important things first everything else will fall in to place. You are doing a great job don't be so hard on yourself. :)alish swappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76789252086652958.post-80890396170364773502012-06-27T21:07:28.000-07:002012-06-27T21:07:28.000-07:00The word ditto comes to mind!

I think growing is an ongoing process and once you conquer the things that are challenging you now you'll find new challenges. Don't let that get you down though! Maybe some pro-con/idea lists are in order?Beccahttp://andyandbeccabrasher.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76789252086652958.post-13603846798503020212012-06-28T11:13:21.000-07:002012-06-28T11:13:21.000-07:00Hi! I've never introduced myself but I just fo...Hi! I've never introduced myself but I just found your blog a few weeks ago. I can totally relate to this. I'm SO sick of not giving it my all, then constantly beating myself up of it. It's a vicious cycle, and every day I vow tomorrow will be "the day I do better"! Yes, everything always looks better tomorrow. I feel like this post really woke me up!<br>Facebook IS the biggest time suck. I actually deleted TONS of friends on mine, went through and only kept people I know in real life, and people who I would call on the phone and chat. I deleted all the people who I knew at one time, met randomly, etc! I've also basically forbid myself from using Facebook during the day. I use it in the morning before work ONLY. That way when my husband and I are home from work, we're not watching TV with laptops on our laps completely zoned out from each other. I wish I could say we don't both sit and watch TV, but we're working on that. Since its summer I've declared on weekends, we've been sitting outside with a fire, some drinks and snacks, and just been talking. It's really helped!<br>I know you're not fishing for compliments or trying to let yourself off the hook, but you are likely being overly hard on yourself! Another problem with FB is that you're seeing the best of what other people are posting, and it can be hard not to compare your life with others who seem to have it all together! You have your priorities in order with your main focus being on your boys! We can always do better and it's great to always strive for that, but at the same time, we are only human! You are a great mom and that's what matters.Shaunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76789252086652958.post-2352687782261718172012-06-28T13:07:07.000-07:002012-06-28T13:07:07.000-07:00Amen to that.
