In life I seem to go through phases. Do you ever feel that way?

For a while I am incredibly productive – eager to start our school day, teach and train my children, and excited to live the day out serving my family and loving them. I sucked in every ounce of them and couldn’t wait until the next day to do it all over again.

But then, there are phases I go through were life just feels like one big messy phase. It’s chaotic, non productive, depressing and overwhelming. In times like that I just want to throw in the towel, grab a cup of coffee and sit down to watch TV…for like a week. Making home feels impossible and I find myself overwhelmed with housework, having to teach and train my children and meeting the needs of my husband.
