I don't get either how some people can work, have kids and tend house so well. There's always something that falls short (laundry! or cleaning stupid hardwood floors).<BR/><BR/>P.S. I think you look great! If i have 4 kids I hope I look as god as you after! =)Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688032613667806078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281887651532671319.post-66813620043543136192008-08-27T22:03:00.000-06:002008-08-27T22:03:00.000-06:00Well, you are surrounded by lots of empathy and un...Well, you are surrounded by lots of empathy and understanding. That doesn't make it any easier. The funny thing (well maybe not funny to you) is that I remember thinking that about YOU-one of those women that seems to have it all together. Isn't it interesting that we all have "sorrow that they eye can't see." I feel so overwhelmed too and I just sometimes have to put one foot in front of the other and look forward to Tender Mercy moments that boost me back up.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760708372039386859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281887651532671319.post-74393008093024165612008-08-27T21:46:00.000-06:002008-08-27T21:46:00.000-06:00I don't know any person in real life who "has it a...I don't know any person in real life who "has it all together". I think the only way would be to hire a housekeeper. And yes, I think when the kids are all in school it will be easier. With 4 kids, and one being just a wee baby, there's just no way! Good blog post because I think we can ALL relate.<BR/><BR/>If it will make you feel better though, just vow to hang one picture each day. Just do one small thing each day to get your house feeling more like a home. Maybe buy some pretty new kitchen hand towels. Small things mean a lot.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131329061258803210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281887651532671319.post-38280521187037754312008-08-27T19:25:00.000-06:002008-08-27T19:25:00.000-06:00I think anyone can relate to how you are feeling! ...I think anyone can relate to how you are feeling! I never feel like I am on top of things ever! Sorry to hear you have a higher maintenance baby. It changes everything when you don't get sleep and have a baby that is fussy. Having survived a difficult baby I say hang in there, a day will come when suddenly you realize you are able to get more done. Honestly I pick-up my house at nap time and before bed and I only do laundry on Mondays, and other responsibilities the rest of the days. That way I don't feel so overwhelmed. Nobody is perfect and if they look it you don't really know them! Have a better day!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590369629459008792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281887651532671319.post-39830026455952434352008-08-27T16:13:00.000-06:002008-08-27T16:13:00.000-06:00I totally hear ya on getting the "other" stuff don...I totally hear ya on getting the "other" stuff done. Between taking care of my kids and cleaning up the constant messes that need immediate cleaning, I have no extra time!<BR/><BR/>I understand the feeding thing, too. Ivy goes about 3 or so hours, but I tend to prop her bottle (terrible, I know) while I do things like-heaven forbid-shower or eat. And then sometimes she just wants to be held and all that.<BR/><BR/>If you ever want a couple of hours just to have the kids away so you can clean or hang pictures or something, give me a call.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973431460488528440noreply@blogger.com
