But the reality is I very often feel overworked. Homeschooling is a full-time job. Taking care of my family and household (aside from homeschooling) is another full-time job. Add in a job-job...and I can often feel overworked. My throat usually hurts from talking so much. I easily talk non-stop 8-10 hours a day. My eyes started twitching. I suspect from so much screen-time. My face muscles are strained. I started clenching my teeth at night. I don't have the physical or mental energy to do everything I would love to do in my homeschool. 

Although this is the PERFECT job for me right now in this season of life and I am immeasurably grateful for it, it comes at a cost. A physical, mental, and opportunity cost. And it's okay...I pay it and move on with my life...but there is a cost none-the-less. 

 Everything has a cost. I record this only to reiterate that the perfect job or the perfect situation will still demand a cost and/or may be hard. Keep going. Just because something is hard doesn't mean you need to stop. My 2020 positive affirmation was: I CAN DO HARD THINGS.
