GREENVILLE, N.C. - Let me start off by saying…UGGHHHHHH!!! Ok, now I feel better. I’m pretty confident working moms everywhere can relate with that outburst. My life lately has felt like one of those revolving doors…but rather than getting off, I just keep going around and around. The more times I go around, the dizzier I become.
I’ve decided to officially wave the white flag and surrender. My house will never be spotless again. There will always be baskets full of clean laundry waiting to be folded. There will always be toys, books and stuffed animals to trip over. There will always be dirty dishes in the sink. There will always be some sort of crumb on the floor. The beds may never be made again. We may eat leftovers three days in a row.
My story is just like every other mom out there…from the second I wake up it is GO, GO, GO. The idea of a nap is heaven…but let’s face it, it’s not realistic. When I find a moment to rest, my mind is racing with all of the things I should be doing instead of taking a nap.
I was feeling all of these things lately until something happened when I was at home the other night. I was sitting in my family room, surrounded by the toys, books and all around clutter. I started getting annoyed when my daughter looked at me and said “Mommy, I love you.”
Focus Amanda. Focus on the important things. Everything else is just stuff.
