Am I cut out for this??

Lately I have been a bit overwhelmed. Nothing out of the norm just the craziness of life has caught up with me once again. I look at my children and I am again reminded as to how selfish I am. I adore my children and am forever thankful for them. Yet, I have days when I think I just can't be a mom any more and why did I get married. Usually that will happen after a day of sibling rivalry, scream as I drag my youngest out of Peter Piper Pizza, and when I am just plan tired. I struggle with a chronic illness that causes chronic fatigue. If you have never experienced CFS be thankful. I can be just my normal self them BOOM! Out of no where I will become so exhausted I can't even lift a glass with out wanted to fall asleep. That is how I have felt the last few days. I often wondered why I was allowed to struggle with Fibromyliga. It disrupts most parts of my life. But I was allowed to have this illness. When you are a SAHM/WM, have a husband who travels weekly, and is in grad school, a son who struggles with a learning disability, another child who walks to the beat of his own drum. Makes me feel like I just can't do this. So, I guess as I evaluate my life these last few days I am reminded of why one of my favorite hymns is "Singing I go along life's road, praising the Lord, Praising the Lord. Sing I go along life's road, for Jesus has lifted my load." Oh Jesus help me to remember there isn't anything we can't handle together and nothing happens that is a surprise to you!!
