Today has been one of those days, you know the kind, where you think someone stretched the tunnel out another thousand feet and there is no light in sight...the kind of day when you think you might have finally made it over the highest hurdle, and once you get to the other side, you see one twice the size of the one you just accomplished...the kind of day where you feel like you can't win for losing.
I am an emotional wreck. I have nothing left of myself to give, yet I find people keep needing, and have no problem asking. How do I ever say no? I can't, so I find another direction to stretch myself, another piece of me to give. One day, I think I may just self combust, or finally crack under the pressure.
I have nothing else to say, really, except that I'm not sure I'm cut out for this life I have made for myself. I don't know how, day after day, I continue to do it. Maybe out there in cyberspace there is an answer.

About Me
Dustin and Joli
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Dustin and I have been married 9 wonderful years! We enjoy being parents to our 3 beautiful children and living in Arizona (Ok, he does, I don't). We look forward to the ups and downs life throws at us, together we're unstoppable. Dustin's favorite pass-times are watching "The Sopranos", grilling, and looking at cars. I enjoy reading, blogging, cooking and baking. Together, we love spending time with our children and savoring every moment as they grow before our eyes.
Laila
The Strong Willed Child
Laila is 9 years old and the most independent child I have ever seen. Diabetes is only a stepping stone in the path to greatness for her, she's inspirational. Laila loves reading books, her favorites are Junie B. Jones and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Laila's a Monster High fanatic, she loves to play soccer and help out around the house.
Sweet Child of Mine
Follow along with Laila and I as we battle diabetes together, one day at a time! Come along for the ride and check out our new blog!
Kenadi
The Flower child
This is Kenadi, the most laid back, happy child you'll ever see! At 6 years old she's full of life and laughter. She likes to just hang out and play, and has not a care in the world. She loves to eat, sleep, and chase after her big sister. Kenadi loves school and soccer, and can't wait for summer!
Dustin Jr.
Dustin Jr. is a handful, to say the least! At 4 years old, I've never experienced anything like him! He is wild, crazy, and so very boy! There are days I feel like I'll never be able to catch my breath, he sure keeps me busy! He loves soccer, TMNT, and board games. He will soon start kindergarten and can't wait to go to school like his older sisters!
Joli...YOU'RE AMAZING! Don't ever stop fighting the good fight. How do you keep on keeping on? Because you can. And you're great at what you do. A good wife, a good mom, a good person. And if there is one thing I know, is that good people get what they got coming. It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow, but some day, you'll get yours. And I say that in a good way. Isn't it worth it to keep on, knowing that tomorrow will be the day? I know it's enough to keep me going. The first thing you need to know, though, is that you are worth it. And you are. At the end of the day, if you have made someone smile, or feel good about themselves, you should know you are doing God's work, and He notices. Let that give you the strength you need. I love you!
