I have this overwhelming feeling that I'm doing everything wrong today.Let me first say I love being a stay home mom. I play with my kids every day. We always have food on the table. We have a happy home. But some days I wake up and just want to escape!
Last night I stayed up too late to finish a book. Guess I was selfish to do that. Then today has been off. Zander is super fussy. I think he's cutting his second tooth. I went running to see if that would help my mood. Don't think it did because here I am now typing this blog. My husband watched the kids while I went to run and then I took a quick shower. But I'm always rushed. A day like today makes me wonder what it would feel like to send both kids to daycare, just for a day...Maybe I would finally tackle the long to-do list that is always running through my head.
We have too many clothes. All 4 of us. I know the problem could easily be solved if I would just sort through them and put some in trash or give away. But I'm sure it would take hours so I don't. I'd rather get the kids out of the house to do something fun.
It's so hard to get anything done around the house. My little boy loves to be held. He's only 6 months and I love that he wants to be snuggled all the time. But it sure makes for a messy house. Guess I could be cleaning right now as he naps but I'm in a slump. Praying I snap out of this soon!

I am not a Mother, but I can tell you there is no shame in feeling this way. Maybe it would be good for you to find a church or place that has Mother's Day out. Even if it were just a couple hours a week. A happy and non-frazzled Mamma is way better than the alternative! Plus, when My Mom (who was also stay at home) took us we LOVED it! It was a fun & much needed break for everyone. I'm sure she primarily spent the time cleaning or doing errands but at least she could get things done and have some alone time.
Hi Amber! Yes, I've considered putting V in MDO. I'm just hesitant to start her in a new place and then switch her out when our lease is up in October...Maybe in the spring I will. That was a really off day I had. I'm lucky that my husband has a flexible job and can be around to give me breaks.
