I Just Don’t Have Enough Time and I Stress About Finances
If there were 48 hrs in a day would I have more time? Have you ever wondered if you had more time, would it feel like you had more time? Would 48 hours in a day feel like 24 hours because you would just fill up the day with more things to do?
Lately I have been feeling like I just don’t have enough time. I am a mom of 3 children, I am responsible for taking care of the house, the finances, the animals, the kids schooling (I home school my kids), planning and cooking meals, part-time work and this list goes on. Now some my responsibilities could be reduced if I would get rid of some things, like the animals. Despite the work I have to do with the animals I do enjoy having them.
I am not trying to sound whinny or be ungreatful for what I have but I just get overwhelmed sometimes. My finances overwhelm me all the time. Though I feel we are doing much better with our finances years past, I do have to constantly remind myself to stay on track. I have to remember to look ahead and not dwell on things that are happening to us now.
I think all of this will turn out to be a blessing in the end. The day I can call into the Dave Ramsey show and yell “We’re debt free” will remind me that all this hard work was worth it. My hope is that one day I will be able to write on this blog from the other side of the financial freedom fence. I hope that I will be able to encourage all those struggling with their finances to hang in there because there is light at the end of the tunnel.
