This time of year I tend to get pretty overwhelmed and feel like I can barely keep my head above water. Each morning I get up by 7 and feed the horses, all 7 of them by pitchfork and round bale. I get the boys up, get breakfast and start school at 8. I feel like part time teacher and part time referee. The boys bicker with one another almost continuous. We go until lunch, I fix a hot meal and take it to Mark in the field along with a Yoli drink and a jug of tea. My afternoon seems to be catching up from morning, doing dishes, laundry, checking papers and getting school material ready for the next day. And then it's time to start supper , the boys and I eat, then take meals out to the field for 3 to 5 men. After running out to the field, I hay and grain all the horses. This is on days when I don't have to be anywhere. Throw in taekwondo and youth group nights and I am wiped out. I know that God never gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes I just need a little extra push to get through.This time of year I tend to get pretty overwhelmed and feel like I can barely keep my head above water.
