No need to be afraid till you notice the school teacher running down hill, out of the old school house, and past the community church, to take refuge with the young children inside a house. Be sure she locks down all the windows though....And LEARN from Hitchcock! BOARD-UP THE FIREPLACE FLU!!! And when they finally make their escape, don't run.....walk, that works every time I watch The Birds.
hehe maybe now is not the time to rent that old film for your children's viewing pleasure.

There are days I want to switch places with my husband and he's in Iraq! *lol* I'm with ya' sister, being everything to everyone is exhausting...eventually you just end up feeling like the lump in the corner with the fuzzy teeth and dirty clothing!

You aren't a bad mom. You're human.

My own mama? Had many moments like those you describe - and those were just the ones I knew about. And my brother and me? We turned out just fine. Our fish didn't die of starvation, and neither did we. And we appreciate our sweet mama for the lovely human - not superhuman - that she is. She gave us permission to be real by being real herself.

I hope things are feeling more manageable and you've got a bit of spring in your step. Hang in there.

Hope you're feeling better. As someone who works from home 10 hours a day (I do day care), I feel like the work never stops. Never. And yes, I get jealous of my husband getting to head out the door with his coffee and his music and his no-kids-for-a-while. But then I get out for a little bit, and I spend the whole time worrying about them, because I'm the mommy and I'm supposed to be there.

Crazy? Yes. I admit it. But mommy life seems to be full of contradictions. And yes, sometimes it's nice just to know you're not the only one who ever feels that way.

No debate here...fish food is how I feel sometimes too.

2009-09-30T05:23:30.083-07:00

Oh, I sooo feel for you, as I've been in that spot too many times myself (I work out of the home full time and my husband is gone M-F for work). It really bites the big one and the best remedy is to try and work in a day (or even a few hours just for yourself). I take a vacation day while the kids are school sometimes if I really need a break. Hope things start improving for you!

Ooooh, I hear you on this. It's an awful feeli...

Ooooh, I hear you on this. It's an awful feeling to have the litany of Things piling up to such a degree that it feels like you'll never accomplish any of it. I've got nothing at all helpful to say, except that I totally feel ya.

How do they meet everyones needs (not to mention their own) without losing every sane bone in their body? How?

I keep looking at other working mothers and asking myself the same question. I assume they look at me with the same wonder. I think we're all of us a whole lot better at faking than we think we are.

I'm a stay-at-home dad—and I love it. Most of the time, I have no idea what I am doing. That's OK. My kids do not know that.

Thanks Kristen, I am loving Weeds! I had always heard that it was good, but we don't have Showtime so I was thrilled to see it was avb on Netflix! And the first 2 seasons are avb ondemand so you can watch them online!

And I do feel better...sometimes just writing it out is all the help one needs. There is so much to be thankful for, on this "non-stop" ride that is...motherhood! :)

I have a question...what did you think of Weeds? We just started watching it (we are all caught up on avail. DVDs from Netflix) and we love it!

Hope you feel better soon, hope things calm down soon. I am a STAHM but I still get the fighting, the laundry, etc. Mine are still pretty little too. Feel like I'm non-stop ride to and from pre-school and K.

Love your blog!

Sundays are God sanctioned days for fighting around here.

I don't work from home but I understand what you're saying. I do a lot of report writing, continuing education, and work-related calls from home. I feel pulled in a million directions and like I can't do any one thing well or completely.
