I am usually happy go lucky in situations I am dealing with. Today it has gotten the best of me. My son is recovering from a serious illness, my mom has end stage Parkinson's, and I have a Foster son who has just started college. I try to be upbeat and count my blessings everyday and I do still see them in the middle of all of this but today I feel like it's beating me up. I find myself feeling spread too thin and wanting to run away from it all. I try not to let it overwhelm me but some days it just does. The illness my son has had caused him to lose a great deal of weight and he is having problems getting his strength back and it is such a slow process. I have to work full time and I can't be home with him to take care of him like I feel like he needs. My mom is in the nursing home and I can't get over to see her like I want to because my son needs me. My foster son was my support during all of this and he is so busy at school and work. I just feel at times like I have no one who understands. I try to do my devotion every morning but some days I feel like I do today. Just overwhelmed with life. Please keep me, my sons, and my mother in your prayers. I sure do need it today..
