When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on

It seems like so often lately that I have been OVERWHELMED by life.  So much, that I have wanted to get back into my sweats mid-day, lie in bed and suck my thumb.  But alas, I am a woman with too much integrity to let that happen (3 times out of 4) so I get my big girl panties on and trudge through.  Maybe it is part of maturing or being a mother and not wanting to let my kids down.  I don't know.  Either way, God gives me enough strength to get through each day, one step at a time (even if these are small baby steps done in sweats, and sucking my thumb) Ha! 

So, I will carry a "to-do" list, a cell phone with good friends #'s on speed dial, the good book and some tylenol with me all the time as I get through this chapter in my story.  And I am okay with that.
