How does she do it....

Ive been asked this question so many times in the past and recently was asked by a classmate to write about it. How do i do it?

Well, its a long story. I wont sit here and tell you that my life is all amazing there is nothing negative in it. I do have problems, i worry and i worry a lot sometimes but who doesn't right? So with that being said i think my life is pretty simple. I manage well with what i have and i wouldn't have it any other way.

I am a mom, a wife, a student, a friend and more. I work more than your average human being. I'm in school for about 20 hours a week and at practicum for another 20, then i come home and work at being a mom and wife and sometimes in between i find the time to cook when i need to because my hubby is the primary chef at home LOL! I clean too! I also try and make time for friends and being family oriented. At times i cant deny it I'm overwhelmed, ask my husband who i am when midterms and papers are due. When my life is consumed with writing reports and studying, when my daughter comes home with tons of homework and i have 10,000 things to do on my list. I become the INCREDIBLE HULK! LOL! Green and all! HAHA!

I manage well and i guess that's why i can be a good psychologist. I have a lot of patience tons of it. Yes of course i lose it sometimes and go days without being able to find it but overall its not hard to juggle everything. I'm a multitasker. I wouldn't function if my life with plain and boring. I'm used to the rush and the adrenaline that comes with everything i have going on. I couldn't picture my life any different.

My secret is in all honesty, i Incorporated school into my life not my life into school. Don't get me wrong my education is by far a very important thing in my life, i work hard to pass my classes and to be good at what i am destined to do, but I'm a mother and wife first. My little family is constantly my #1 priority no matter how hard it gets.

My husband is my shoulder to lean on when things get rough, even though he totally leans on me more LOL i know he is there and just with his presence i feel safe knowing i have a friend and a loyal one at that in him. My kids are simply amazing, no matter how hard my day is, no matter how bad it went and how frustrated and annoyed i may be, a simple look at them makes it all better. Its like they are my therapy my reason for sanity and living.

So when i feel like the world is crumbling down on top of me i am optimistic i know it'll be better and tomorrow is another day. So all in all i do it the only way i know how. Take it one day at a time and know that when god shuts a door he open a window, he squeezes but doesn't choke, so at the end of the day when its all said and done i know i will prevail.

Its easy folks like i always say, your life is in your hands and what you do with it is only in your power. You become what you strive for. We are hard wired to overcome obstacles and to be able to fight for what we deserve. Everyone has it in them no matter what your background is. If you plant seeds and water them properly they will grow and if you continue to nourish that plant it will flourish and the fruit of your  labor will be shown.

XOXO,
