Having one child was very overwhelming for me at first, but when you add a second one to the bunch, things get beyond overwhelming. I can't ever seem to catch up on anything.....work, laundry, cleaning, etc. I even struggle finding time to get a haircut. I havent' had a haircut in 3 months. My eyebrows are going to grow together real soon if I do something quick. I can't remember when I had a complete meal where I actually sat the entire time and ate all of my food. I am so used to eating fast that I don't even realize when I am done. I look at my plate and say, "hey where did my sandwich go?"
Back to my point, I feel sometimes that I am not a good mother because I am not crafty, or don't have time to write out schedules and menus and take my kids to the zoo and on vacation and enroll them in classes. I am just your very blah mom.....but I am ok with it. Sometimes when both of my babies are screaming I think of all of my friends with multiple children and wonder how they do it. Am I the only one who struggles? I know the answer is "No!" It's just hard sometimes. So here is my laundry. I am behind and I am proud of it. I am not crafty, we rarely go to the zoo, and we might not get a vacation this year. I am tired, I am busy, I am unorganized and sometimes I want to pull my hair out.
I hope this makes some of you moms who struggle like me feel a little better. We aren't all perfect and happy all the time. This ones for you!
There's another load in the dryer waiting to be folded
This is usually what my bed looks like everyday
Here is the reason I don't care if my laundry isn't folded or my bed isn't made. They are the reason I breath and wake up every day. Without them I wouldn't be me.
