Full plate.

People around me are always talking about how stressed they are. Stressed due to responsibilities at work, home, church, with friends and family. Stressed.

And sometimes I get caught in that mindset. I spend my day with children literally from the moment I wake up until the moment we all pass out. I start my day with my own.. trying to feed, change, dress. I spend the next eight to nine hours with my students.. trying to teach, reteach, love, and repeat. I come back home and there are papers to sign, dinner to cook, bottles to make, bathes to give, prayers to pray, and so on. And that's alot.

But what would I do without it?! What would I do with all my time? I love waking up to Cates' coos. I love hear "Mrs. Croleyyyyyyyy" all day. I love the life I lead, and I love love love the people in it!

The truth is, I am not stressed. I am busy. I lead a full life. I am blessed beyond measure with things to fill my days.

My plate is full, and I am thankful for it.
