I am having a hard time lately balancing out being a good mom, house wife, and working part time. I feel like I can't be great at all 3. I know a lot of you have mastered it. HOW? Help! Obviously, being a mother is my priority. But I feel like I can't do that well without lacking in other areas. Ugh. Just a rough day I guess.

I love this pic..so cute
Hope tommorow is better :)
Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep! I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
~My friend shared this with me on one of the occasions when I was feeling the same way! When they grow up it wont matter if your house was clean- They'll remember the memories :)
Love you friend! I wish we lived closer together so we could hang out!
I am sure you are doing so much better than you think you are! I think it is so natural to think you aren't doing enough- I feel that way sometimes without adding a job into the mix. You are amazing!
I was just feeling like that a while ago, and you were so comforting to me, so I hope to be the same for you. I think that every once in a while we are going to have those days where we feel like, we want to be a good mother, wife and house keeper and sometimes we can do it all with grace, but some days we just need mommy and baby time, or wife and husband time or I NEED TO CLEAN MY HOUSE TIME.
With that being said something that we have found that helps us is when Terry is home I don't want to clean I want to be with him.. But sometimes what We have done is have Terry take Titan for an hour and with no husband or baby around for a whole hour you can get alot done, plus Terry and Titan can have a little bonding time.
Don't worry about not doing all 3 perfect! Were still new at this, it will take time.
Love ya

I find it easy to have goals everyday..so before i go to bed at night I think to myself what things i need to accomplish or get done and then I write it down, making sure i make time for my kiddies. Making lists and crossing things out can really make you feel more accomplished and feel like you really did do something that day. I feel like this alot too, and when i do this it makes me feel more together.
dude.. i think i have that bad day at least 3 times a week. when you master it.. teach me your ways..
and i dont' even work part time!
Oh Rashmellie! I don't profess to have all the answers, but I do know that for me, I struggled with just working full time and trying to be a full time homemaker....and this was before children. It became very clear to me that I couldn't be my best at either of them while I was trying to do them both. I believe it was a way for Heavenly Father to show me that once I had children, I would need to quit working because I wouldn't be able to do it all. Now, that was the right decision for ME....and I know everybody has different circumstances, but I believe it's helped tremendously, and I STILL don't have it all together!
