ah, life.
Do you ever just have a day where you finally get home from a long day at work (making a to do list the entire time to try and accomplish when you get home), get home feed your child, make sure your child is dress for tap, take her to tap class (class is only 45 minutes long so it doesn't really pay to drive back home so you run errands), come home (listen to Do, Re, Me, Far, So, La, Tea, Do 3 times on the way home because your child is obsessed with it), make sure you eat, sit down and you just crash?
I just crashed, and hard. It's only 8 pm. I just got Alexa to take a shower after 45 minutes of arguing about whether or not she has to shower today and I seriously could shut my eyes and be done for the day, and sleep like - a Luke. Sometimes, I really wonder how people get so many things done in their day. As I sit here and look at the approx 5 loads of laundry that need to be folded, and look at the pile of books on my side table that I want to read eventually, looking at my to do list of little shit that could be done fast if I just put my mind to it....BUT, but... I just can't bring myself to do it. My eye lids are heavy, my lower back hurts because Alexa jumped on me....again (She thinks she's only 5 lbs, but she's not...), I'm hungry for Justin's Peanut Butter Cups (because when I'm tired I crave sugar) but I'm doing a cleanse for work, and Luke keeps going and going about my car, the house, his car, and anything else that comes to his mind.
This. THIS, my friends is the life of a momma (parent). The job never ends, you always have something to do and you are always thinking of ways to get more done so that some day you can enjoy your time. Which....sometimes seems to never come.
It's funny isn't it...the moment that you are "caught up" there are a million more things to do. I think so often we forget to take time to just be present in our days and to stop striving to be always on top of things. I find that when I'm feeling like I do today I need to take a step back and realign my priorities. When you're too busy to even enjoy - time, loved ones, quiet time, alone time, sexy time...any kind of time, you know it's time to drop something. Sometimes - the thing you decide to drop is house work. Sorry Luke, If you need socks and underwear tomorrow you can look in the laundry baskets yourself because I'm not folding. Instead, I'm going to hang out on the couch and listen to Alexa read. I'll clean tomorrow :-)
Thanks for the "vent" guys. :-)
