Overwhelmed......

I should be working on my homework right now. Instead I have 3 kids at the table with me trying to do everything except what I am telling them to do, and one in the bathroom screaming on the toilet because he just got popped for peeing on the floor. He KNOWS better, all day at school he gets up and goes even with the distraction of other kids. Once we get home, I remind him every 30 minutes to avoid accidents. Somehow he manages to make it into the bathroom, but not on to the toilet. I have made it my personal mission to help my children become above average students. On and off I have been giving them extra assignments from math books I bought and helping them to improve there reading and writing skills by having them practice both at home after they complete their homework. Then and only then can they do and activity they enjoy. I have to tighten up my control on things around here. When I give and inch they take a mile. I am entirely to hard on myself as a mom. I do the best I can. Society would have you think that you are no longer responsible for them once they become adults, but let them do something terrible and it becomes all your fault. I have to play the role of two parents. More often than not I am overwhelmed. Their father barely calls or sends money, so it's my show. Lord help me to be the best mom I can possibly be to raise responsible God fearing children.
