And, if you can tell by my lack of posts, I'm struggling again with this SAHM gig. I don't know how to balance the kids wanting food every two seconds, Ty mad because I'm holding Za, writing, blogging, doing laundry, doing dishes, scrubbing floors, showering, exercising, changing diapers, helping go potty, reading, kissing, shopping, and such.
I wonder if I'll ever get it.
All we can do is the best we can every day...and it usually feels like we're falling short in something. But, none of us is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
I don't think any of us get it all all the time! It's just not possible! When I was struggling with this I had a friend tell me to write down everything that I did in a day from getting dressed, to every diaper I changed, tear I wiped, etc. I was AMAZED at how much I was really getting done-especially when it didn't feel like it!
ReplyDeleteHang in there-you'll find your groove!
You're doing a great job! I'm envious of all that you do and hope that I do it half as well as you when Baby Lange arrives. Keep your chin up!
ReplyDeleteThere's this big learning/contentment gap that happens when you leave the "real" world and come home. The truth is that you have to re-define enjoyment and fun and success and progress. You have to carve a schedule and a plan for yourself and the kids to live by. It's not automatic.
ReplyDeleteWell, everyone has made me feel immensely better. This "hole" in my blog shows how overwhelmed I've been feeling. Tired and grouchy. Anyway, I feel better, and thanks. :)
