Breathing through the tough times and keeping focused on what is necessary and important at any given time seems to keep me sane and going.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-74354580076078258872011-02-15T12:36:06.985-08:002011-02-15T12:36:06.985-08:00Struggle.

I get behind in doing the dishes, or catching up on emails, or that errand will have to wait until tomorrow. I can't do it all and struggle on how to at least make it all easier. But my kids are happy and healthy and I KNOW I'm a good mom so I guess I'm semi-balanced? :)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959448625401917433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-64482334949899854582011-02-15T12:11:51.280-08:002011-02-15T12:11:51.280-08:00You are doing a FANTASTIC job!!! Keep telling you...You are doing a FANTASTIC job!!! Keep telling yourself that when you feel like you are struggling. <br />I often feel the same way- I go to bed feeling guilty about not doing a million things with the house, kid, errands, etc. Why do you think moms feel so much pressure for perfection?! <br /><br />PS Just curious- do you do the same chores every monday, like a chore schedule? (mentioned on your newest pot) or is it just the day to day things?Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581232345782115891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-71641456772755333712011-02-13T18:54:07.720-08:002011-02-13T18:54:07.720-08:00You are not alone - I thought I would "Strugg...You are not alone - I thought I would "Struggle" less when I became a SAHM, but I found I simply traded one kind of struggle for another. The learning curve has been great, but by this point, I, too, think I am doing all right! :) <br />Why do we feel this way? Perhaps we put too much pressure on ourselves to solve every problem and meet everybody's needs all the time? But it sounds like you are doing A-OK! :)Julie Kierashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468486248699926325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-75227209840467052492011-02-13T17:39:31.100-08:002011-02-13T17:39:31.100-08:00You've got a LOT of balls in the air ... it is...You've got a LOT of balls in the air ... it is no wonder that you feel like it is a struggle to keep them all balanced. I think this is how most women/mothers feel; there are so many roles we need to play and you have some additional ones as well. You're doing great!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-8708345515059550002011-02-13T09:20:51.701-08:002011-02-13T09:20:51.701-08:00Well.. i couldn't do it.

Fortunately, I have wonderful nephews and nieces (of whom I count TRex and TRex Princess.. hope that is ok) who I get to spend wonderful time with. More power to you for making it work!shellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821408119426275369.post-7414409244798913422011-02-13T06:08:51.035-08:002011-02-13T06:08:51.035-08:00I definitely have the same struggle.
