When You Just Feel Like You Can't

I have so many aspirations, so many things I want to accomplish. But then life happens. I often find myself burned out at the end of the day. After Tenley goes to bed I have these visions of going for a run, burning a few calories, sitting on my patio reading a good book, drinking a glass of wine. Or maybe even blogging. By the time I get myself back downstairs, I find myself crashing onto my couch. Eating a late dinner. Only getting up to clear my plate, start the dishwasher and then to go to bed. I need to break that cycle. For my sanity. But more importantly, for my health. I want to be the mom that does it all. And while I know that in reality that goal will never be 100% attained, but I am going to strive for it nonetheless. I want to be able to leave a real life story for my precious daughter to remember long after I'm gone. To pass on to grandkids, neices and nephews. Even if there's not much of a story to tell. But it'll be our story. And for me, that's worth it.
