Perspective

I've been trying to get out of the daily routine of getting consumed with feeding kids,cleaning up kids, laundry, cleaning the house, feeding kids, cleaning kids, getting kids to nap, feeding family, cleaning up, bathing children, bedtime routine, pick up house, talk with husband, then can't go to sleep till midnight or later...repeat next morning. Although I know the importance of all this, I do not believe it should be consuming me. There is time for prayer and reading scripture, read books (to find out how to do this parenting stuff) exercise, teaching my kids, but how does it all fit in? So, I am trying to yet again simplify my life and discipline myself praying that God will make up the difference in energy. I'm trying to schedule more things (including free time) and plan ahead for fun stuff and events. Right now it looks like I'll be starting my day at 6am to get it all done and trying to find a way to workout at home(quietly) before the girls wake up. Not too excited about that one. Craziness, I'm tired just thinking about it, ha!
