Yesterday I scrubbed the kitchen floor, counters, cabinets, everything. Today it looks like a shit hole again, excuse my language. I am so exhausted, sick of cleaning, only to find my work to be undone in one afternoon. I'm sure most moms feel the same. I love my little butt faces, and my life would be a bore without them, but I feel like I am not even enjoying them right now because my work load is so large.
I try to keep in mind the poem about how cobwebs can wait because children grow up fast. I'm not setting unrealistic expectations. I am trying to just keep up with the necessary things, like laundry, the kitchen and just toys cluttering my floor. If I even think about all of the things that I need to get to sometime (like cleaning the storage, sorting the boys clothes, dusting the tops of my counters, cleaning the garage, painting my dresser, cleaning out the cupboards) I get overwhelmed thinking of the thousand things I'd like to do.
But I am grateful to have a home to clean, and a yard to mow, and kids to drag all their crap through my hard work.
Happy mother's day.

Oh I adore you! And I couldn't have said it better myself! You are not alone, my friend! For sure!!
Well said!
Amen sister!
It is so overwhelming. Again, why do we as woman have so much on our plates constantly... no wonder most of us look haggard! You are a great mom though and I think we all need to remind ourselves of the good qualities we have.
