Regardless of whether I'm in a good mood or not, life goes on. The sun comes up, the kids get hungry, things get dirty, and I have to kick myself back into gear. The life of a mother is non-stop and even when you wish you could just take a break, kids need you 24/7. So I've developed a survival mode; it's kind-of like when you drive somewhere without having any memory of how you got there, I can operate on autopilot when my pilot is out of commission.
I don't think this is a bad thing. I think Heavenly Father gave us the ability to get through tough things the best we can. It's like on Sundays, I can always somehow muster the energy to teach music in a fun way to my primary kids. I don't know where that reserve comes from, but I'm grateful for it. Cuz life doesn't wait for me to be ready. It just keeps going and going and going...

That is such a fun calling; one that requires tons of creativity and energy. I'm sure you do a wonderful job.
Yes, life does keep going, even when your kids DON'T need you 24/7.
(yes, it actually happens)
We have been gone for 5 days to Arizona and the house was not only still standing, it was pretty clean.
Ha, I wish I had developed that by now. Like today, I couldnt do anything, too tired, and worn out, I just watched a movie with Wes and now he is asleep so Im going to bed too.
