Enough...

I'm trying something new today.  I came across a blog that gives a prompt and asks you write for 5 minutes. So here goes...

Enough...

Enough laundry.  Enough fighting and bickering and screaming.  Enough decisions.  Enough random toys strewn about everywhere.

I've had enough. And I imagine my kids have had enough too.  Enough crazy mama.  Enough "come here" and "go there."  Enough "eat this and not that."  Enough siblings.

I want less, not enough.  Enough! Enough packing lunches.  Enough waking up early.  Enough wiping butts.  Enough arguing.  Enough not listening.  I'm tired and I've had enough.  Is it ever enough?

_______________________________________
Five minutes is up.  This was hard for me because I wanted to edit my thoughts.  And I wanted to edit my writing.  But the assignment calls for "no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking."  That is going to take more practice on my part because I failed miserably on that aspect.

And now I'm second-guessing what I wrote.  Wouldn't it be nice if instead of my ranting about "Enough!!!!" I wrote about how I have enough...enough support and love, enough food and shelter, enough of anything my family truly wants or needs.  Because all of that is true too.
