Chaotic with nothing to show for it

I have decided that motherhood/being a wife is very chaotic at times. There is so much that you need to do and so much more that you want to do. I watched this really awesome episode of Oprah the other day about being a mother and it really struck me. This juggling act is hard and a lot of times I go to bed either feeling like I didn't accomplish anything or I didn't get enough (or any) recognition for the things that I was able to accomplish. However, the Lord in His infinite wisdom has blessed me with little breathing moments where I step back and realize how wonderful life is. I just have to keep reminding myself that every step forward is still a step in the right direction even if it's only a little one. My new favorite quote by Marie Osmond is if you're going to laugh about it later you might as well laugh about it now. Also if any of you are in the market for a life changing book read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Eye-opening and tremendously straight forward. Talk about humbling.
