I can't keep up....
....with life! I feel so busy lately. Sometimes if feels as if I don't know if I'm coming or going. At the same time, I feel as if I get nothing accomplished. Sometimes I look at other moms and wonder how they do it. They seem well rested and appear well-groomed. My house looks like a war zone. I stopped by the home of a friend this past weekend. Her house was clean. I didn't see dirty dishes on the counter. I didn't see cat puke on the kitchen floor from a kitty with a sensitive tummy. I didn't legos scattered about the living room. I didn't see moon sand in the crevices of the coffee table. There are no stains on her carpet. It would actually make me feel good to see these things.

I can't keep up, either! As a matter of fact, I was formulating a similar blog post just this morning as I took my kids to school and thought about the impending arrival of the in-laws tomorrow night. Part of me wants the house to look nice and tidy for them, the other part just doesn't have the energy to care.
try not to compare your home to someone elses...you never know what goes on at her place...she probably hires someone to clean ;)
If you want to see those things then come on over! My house is a zoo. I spend most of the weekend cleaning and by Tuesday it is destroyed and I don't have the energy to nag anymore. On that note I ran into a high school friend today, someone I hadn't seen in years. She stopped me and it took me longer than was nice to recognize her because she looked so old. When the hell did we all get so old? I really thought deep down somewhere that I still looked like I did in High School.
I could have written this post - it sounds just like my life. I am always wondering how these moms do it. Everything is a mess here and I can't keep up at all either. It really gets me down sometimes. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get stuff done. I hope you feel better knowing that there are other moms out there like me that can't keep up either! ;)
P.S. My mom lives next door to me in an in-law apt attached to our house. She helps me non-stop with everything (cooking, cleaning, laundry, watching the kids) and the BOTH of us working non-stop can't keep up!
lol...totally on your page. I just cant keep up with the kids either. Ive gotten to the point that im just throwing everything out. saturday is clean up day, and IM still wondering why we do it, since at about 1pm, its all back the way it was before we started. you should see my kitchen floor, at this point i need a steamer.
Hm.... but did you look in her oven? Or in her bedroom? Garage? Her whole house may not be as perfect as it appears.
I've also discovered that most of the "wonder" moms are just as messed up as I am. So now I feel great about myself.
I appreciate the comments. It does make me feel better that I'm not the only one.
