regardless of an extra hour of daylight
laundry is piling up
groceries need to be purchased
the dog needs to go for a walk
mama needs a nap
There aren't enough hours
I want to make dinner for my husband
But I ought to learn how to cook better
leftovers spoil
takeout is bought too often
There aren't enough hours
I purposely got glitter toenail polish on my toes
so I would be forced to get a pedicure
because getting glitter off is damn near impossible
but there are so many other things I rather be doing
There aren't enough hours
snuggling my baby girl
enjoying the sunshine
going to brunch
walking around a farmers market
feeling the sand under my toes
watching a movie cuddled up with my husband
There aren't enough hours
It is so very hard to be a working mom
feeling like I am not giving 100% anywhere
not at work and not at home
it's mentally exhausting
There aren't enough hours
To think that two hours of my day are spent commuting
eight hours are spent working
eight hours are (wishfully thinking) spent sleeping
and two-three are spent with P & David seems so unbalanced
There aren't enough hours
Thank goodness for tomorrow.
Sorry sweet friend - you are so right though, there are not enough hours in the day! I don't even have a full time job and I don't think there are enough hours - life is so busy and so crazy! Wish we could all find a healthy balance x
ReplyDeleteYou are doing the very best you can!! Just remember that love!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great Momma! Don't ever think for a second that you're not! This job is hard! I firmly believe it's even harder for working Mommas. Cut yourself some slack, you'll find a balance!
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way! I work 40 hours a week but I have a 45 minute commute. The good thing is that I work 12 hour shifts, so I do get a little more time during the week, but I hate having to do housework and grocery shop, etc when all I want to do is play with my little 7 month old babe. I think going back to work has helped me really relish the time off I have and we just try to make the most of it! I am lucky to have my mom and mother in law keep him while I work so that he is always with someone who loves him like I do! Hang in there momma!
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you...going back to work f/t soon and I just don't know how I will do that and balance my time two boys and a husband...it is tough!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing mama! You are doing an amazing job!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel ya. I start my full time job on Monday and I am DREADING leaving Grayson. #momlife
ReplyDeleteI'm scared to death that there won't be enough hours for me to be the mama that I want to be and work...and do everything else that needs to get done. sigh. Sounds like you're doing a great job because you're thinking about balance!
ReplyDeleteThere truly aren't enough hours - and I don't even work a 'normal' job! I'm still learning to delegate some responsibilities - like we just hired a cleaning service so we don't need to spend precious time we could be spending Clara cleaning the house instead. We'll see if the cost is worth it, but I think it will be! But you said it, thank goodness for tomorrow. You're doing great, friend.
