I am having a rough day today. I got up late, dawdled with feeding Logan and putting away his clean clothes, showering and getting to work... I didn't make it until 10. Yuck. Now I am disappointed in myself. Disappointed and stressed out about not being able to do better. How do other women do it? How do they make it to work ON TIME everyday, work eight hours and then head home to feed baby and complete household chores?
I struggle daily trying to squeeze everything in. Getting to work, going grocery shopping, getting gas, buying clothes as needed for me, Shawn, and Logan. I am trying to jog and get in shape... and every once in a while, I like to eat dinner. (you know, something other than mac 'n' cheese or sammiches)
I don't feel like I get to spend enough time with Logan. I always feel like I am rushing everywhere to get errands done, which leaves me feeling frassled. I would like to jog four or five times a week, but can only manage three. The house has crossed the line from untidy to down right dirty. And emotionally, I have spent the last week feeling like I am on the verge of tears.
Sorry - Jeannine - please don't be scared of having babies. Logan has brought me a tremendous amount of joy but DAMN I really wish I could work some days from home. I wish I could afford to pay someone to clean my house. I wish I had time each day to relax.

It's ok to vent and Ok to know it's not always easy. You won't scare me off it that easily. It just prepares me for what's coming. And those pictures you posted make having a little guy really appealing.
ReplyDeleteAnd cry if you need to. Sometimes it is such a relief. Want to have a clean-the-house party one night next week?
I don't think anyone does it as well as you may imagine them doing it. Something's do have to give. It shouldn't be your sanity though. Feel free to bring Logan over any day of the week to have an evening at home to do whatever. or. i can come over and watch him one night a week while you and shawn to chores so you can spend the rest of the week with him? Just think one day at a time. and now with one WAH day a week, i bet it will make a GINORMOUS difference :O)
