Despite my best efforts the past few days to clean my house, keep things organized, and trying to stay motivated to finish out the semester....... well they have all sort of fizzled out.
I pick up everyday but by the end of the day, or the next morning, things look about the same. :(
This morning I awoke the ENTIRE box of Q-tips spread out across the bathroom floor.....and then I remembered that last night in my desperation to get Jackson to calm down before bed, that I let him do that.....since it stopped him from screaming bloody murder (oh, how I love teething!).
This mom thing is crazy. I don't so much mind that my house is messy, I mean, really no one expects me to be Martha Stewart (I hope).
I guess I just hate feeling like I did yesterday, when the box of Q-tips (and a good dose of baby Tylenol) was my last saving grace the get my little boy to be calm enough for bed time. I don't like feeling that I can't do it all, even though I know it isn't possible.
I feel an extra strain as well because the Holidays are upon us and I keep thinking about all the decorating, baking, and other things I still need to do.
So today, I'm going to try and take a deep breath and start fresh! Let see what I make of this new beginning!

I hear ya girl. Give yourself a break- you're doing the toughest job in the world ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteHaley, I have a post very similar to this brewing in my brain. It's hard to do it all. Frankly, it just isn't possible, and I need to cut myself some slack. You need to do the same. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSome of these reasons are exactly why I haven't blogged since Wednesday. I have 4 (holiday) parties in 3 weeks time (at my house) and it's overwhelming. I've worked myself ragged this weekend trying to catch up so I can get back to the fun stuff come Monday, but we'll see.
