Oh My Life

I am in a funk.   I feel like everything I do is not enough.  I do not know why I feel like this because I am not getting any of these feelings from Will.  Its actually the opposite.  He always wants me to just watch a movie and take a break.  My problem is a fell like, a break from what?  I have one kid and I still can not keep my house nice and clean.  I work one day a week and have a few projects here and there on the side.  My life is so easy but for some reason it is still hard.  My friend blogged about this same thing a few days ago and then posted this article that she found and I love it.  I love that it says that something that takes a kid free person 15 minutes takes a person with kids 45 minutes.  Also love this quote “I used to want the world, now I just want to use the bathroom alone.”  This quote sums up my day.  When I use the restroom either Addi is crying and banging on the door, brining me random objects or throwing things in the other toilet.  Motherhood can often be a thankless job (especially when said child cant talk).  I have so much respect for the moms that can do it all (although I am certain they feel inadequate at times).  This is not a “I hate being a mom” post.  I do love it.  I love when Addi randomly comes up and gives me a kiss and acts like a complete goof.  Some days are just more difficult then others.  Am I the only one that gets in these funks?

You are NOT alone on this. I feel the same way sometimes. I only have one kid, how in the world will I get anything done when there are more? How did my mom do it with eight?! Thanks for sharing the article I loved it.

oh girl, we've all been there. in some ways i actually think having two is easier then one because they entertain each other and you can get stuff done. three on the other hand i am still figuring out. :)
