General Conference was great, the whole family took a recharge day. We all sat around and listened. It was so great to be inspired and taught by the Prophet and Apostles. I feel ready to face the challenges ahead with a good attitude.
I have been wondering though...when will we obtain that synergy as a family that all the great people around us have, setting goals, super clean house, feeling the spirit 24 hours a day.?. Some times I feel like we are just keeping our heads above water. I mostly feel like my little kiddos only have 1/4 a mom, instead of a plugged in, focused, driven, amazing woman at the helm of their little lives. Gonna have to pray about this one, but some suggestions in the comment box wouldn't hurt either.

Hey my friend...I'm right there with you. I feel like 1/3 Mom. Not only that, but I feel like All of a sudden I have a way shorter fuse. I think I'm just over stressed and under rested. And I totally feel like I don't have it together, especially when I see other moms in my ward, with more kids and have so much more going on (it seems), and are som much more together that I am.
But, all said and done, you are an awesome mom and your kiddos (& Mike) adore you, so you must be doing something right!
I remember hearing (I don't know where) that no matter how well you think you know someone, if you think their lives are perfect, you don't know them well at all! That comforts me when I look around and start to feel bad about all my shortcomings. I also love Pres. Uchtdorf's last RS mtg talk. I needed that one! I just relistened to it recently. Great things to remember.
You're the woman! I would say you're more like 4x's the mom, than 1/4 a mom.
