I have truly been hit with a dose of reality…
For the last couple of weeks I have been truly overwhelmed…overwhelmed with school, MaryKay, and Blogging!! And of course being a mom and wife! I read blogs all the time of moms that are doing this and that and I have to wonder if I am just a total slacker because there is no way I can get everything done…
When we decided it was time to stay at home I figured I would have time to get everything done! And while I enjoy the freedom of being off work, I miss just having a few moments to myself to gather my thoughts. I don’t feel depressed but I do feel overwhelmed from time to time because I’m trying to get it all done and sometimes I can’t help but feel like I am failing.
I am a wife and mom first but then comes everything else and I never feel like I have just “Carissa” time to just get lost in my thoughts or just do something I want to do. Usually when I get a chance to write that is my time but often it’s just so hard to sit and concentrate on that because I have so much on my list of things to do.
So if you are reading this how do you get it all done???
Or do you feel like me in the same boat of go, go, go, go…
Then at times when I’m not focused on school, blog, or MaryKay I’m a listening ear to someone….but when do you get that listening ear in return! One of my friends and I made a pact to be there for each other because its hard getting your feelings out to others and believe it or not this has helped tremendously!!! Even if its just by text we have been making an effort daily to text or email just to see if the other one is okay…
I don’t know if these are regular stay at home blues or just first time mom blues! What I do know is my husband suggested a schedule to help us…and hopefully that works because I’m not ready to pass my child for everyone to babysit (and usually when she’s gone I’m worrying about her) so I will just take advantage of my morning time while my husband is home and time when Emma’s with her grandparents and I can get stuff done in their home office! That way we are still together but and I don’t have to worry…
