No Answers, Just Questions

I am reminded more and more of the mistakes that I make on a daily basis. There are many things that I do well, but many other things that I wish I did better - or - perhaps just differently.

Most of my concerns arise from a lack of time. Am I spending enough time with my girls? Am I keeping my house clean enough? Should I be trying to volunteer my time to a worthy cause (other than to the schools where my children attend)?

Sometimes I get irritable because I'm stretched so far between activities, roles, responsibilities and needs. I don't want to take my frustrations out on anyone else. I want to be able to handle whatever comes my way. I wonder if I am doing a good enough job being a mother, neighbor, friend...

Doing enough
Making mistakes

What do I use as a guideline to see if I'm doing ok? What do other people use? I don't want to compare myself to others because there is such a wide array of what people find acceptable. What I expect of myself if much higher than what I see happening around me. So, what do I use as a measuring stick?

Am I doing enough?
Am I making too many mistakes?

There are more questions, but these are the basic two that plague me the most.

And I have no answers.
