I'm Here

I realize that my blog post are more sporadic then during my treatment last year.

In re-entering the world and assuming the roles of my life I find it challenging to sit and write.

I am struggling to not be overwhelmed.
This super Momma used to balance the many hats and responsibilities with ease, relying on her organizational skills and ability to multi task to help her accomplish the never ending demands and To Do's.
But I am not that super Momma any more.

Yet in the last few weeks I have tried to be just that.
As you will read on the blog, there have been many escapades for the Sparkman family and few not highlighted and I have found that I have been more in survival mode then thriving.

I realize my plight is not that unique... A often single momma, part time employee, full time caretaker of Casa de Sparkman,  provider of meals and supplies, nurse, snow shoveler, and the list goes on.

But I am unique. I am cancer survivor, 6 month detox patient, hair re-growing, not always brave warrior

And things that are hard and overwhelming to the average household are exponentially hard for me.
I am constantly reminded of my limitations both physical and mental.
I am often discouraged by the "brick walls" that fill my path
I am weary to face another challenge
and I am frustrated to not be more

So I do what I can, when I can.
I try again and sometimes again
and when in doubt,

Tomorrow is soon enough
