How do you do it, that is the question?
Lately I feel like sh$@#.
This blogging thing is killing me.
I look at so many blogs.
I see so many cute ideas.
You are all so creative and fun.
You women sew, scrapbook, make fun crafts, do fun activities with your kids, cook wonderful meals, read books all the time, shop like crazy, some of you work, you make jewelry.
I feel like the blogging world has just become a way to SHOW OFF!
There....I said it!
There is nothing wrong with it, but it makes me feel so BLEH.
How do you keep up?
I can't keep up with all the cute headbands, flowers, jewelry, tutu's, beanie's, clothes, bedding, and crafts that so many of you do.
When I feel like I just got the new style of tutu, flower, or any kind of cutsie accessory, I am shutdown by a BRAND NEW STYLE.
Ugghhh! SO FRUSTRATING!
I want to be creative, I wanna make cute clothes for my kids, I wanna have nice furniture, I wanna be crafty creative and handy, I want a new car (sick of being the mini-van mom).
But it's just not possible, we are too poor.
I think of something fun to make and shortly realize that it's almost as expensive to make it as buying it and then I have to stress about making it.
So many of you dress AMAZING and you are so in style, your kids are dressed to the max.
But how?
If it's not on super clearance, I don't buy it, I can't bring myself to spend $15.00 on a shirt for myself let alone my kids.
Sometimes I just feel like a FRUMPY OLD MOM!
Snot on my shirt, food on my face, and my hair looks like I just WOKE UP, my make-up always smeared, and I am just POOPED.
I try to be crafty, but it never turns out to be CUTE.
And if I try to be creative, I find myself exhausted, the dishes stack up, the laundry piles up, the house looks as if a TORNADO has just blown through, and the kids are ignored and cranky.
Is it worth it?
I don't have the time or energy to cook, clean, take care of myself, run errands, pay bills, BLOG, read stories to my kids, take care of my kids, have a social life, teach my children, scrapbook, sew, have play dates, and be crafty.
It's not possible to be a good mom, wife, friend, or example if I am so FLUSTERED.
Kids are only little once so why not enjoy them!
I am FRAGGLED!
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
I have had projects that I have wanted to do for awhile now, and after 4 weeks of doing a bit here and a bit there....it's still sitting on my kitchen table totally UNFINISHED.
My kids go BANANA'S if I even TRY to work on something.
And then I get CRANKY and it's just not fair to them.
Ugghhhh!
Maybe I am just BUGGED out cause Taylor has been studying for the Bar for a month now, and he has one more month to go.
He's not home much.
He is home in the morning for a few hrs. and that's it.
I am overwhelmed and emotional.
But this BLOGGING network doesn't make it any easier on me.
So many of you out there are so talented and creative.
Anyone else feel the way I do?
Or am I the only CRAZY one here?
Help me!
