Why does it have to be so hard? Being a working mom, that is. And before I go any further, I feel the need to add a disclaimer.... I'm not saying that being a stay at home mom is easier. I only know the world of working mom right now....
And what I know is, it is difficult. I constantly feel like I'm dividing my time. My time for work-related stuff, home projects, precious time with my boy, and time for myself. And the balance never seems quite right. I ALWAYS feel like something is short of time. My blog writing, for example, has really dwindled lately. I know a lot of it is due to time. And it makes me sad. Which is why, tonight, I decided to make this my first priority.
I'm not sure what the answer is. I'm a list maker and I'm constantly prioritizing. What HAS to be done today? What can wait until tomorrow? Until tomorrow comes and suddenly it all has to be done. Then I get grumpy and nobody's happy. (The old saying.... If Mama's not happy, ain't nobody happy!)
For now... I guess I'll keep dividing my time as best as I can. And if nothing else, I'm trying to devote more time to my family. Jack won't be little forever.

there never seems to be perfect balance does there? i try to remind myself that there is no such thing...although that doesn't always help with the guilt!
here's to lots and lots of precious time with your sweet, sweet boy!
Being a stay at home mom is definitely easier. Sometimes I get super busy and I overwhelm myself, but I always have enough time for my kids (which is all I really care about anyways).
I am in awe of working mothers. I don't know how you guys do it. It all seems very stressful.
Keep up the good work mama!
