I have some there, too. With so many kids, I can't seem to get it washed and folded in one day.airforcewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533056105139492032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-1117656329589661272005-06-01T15:05:00.000-05:002005-06-01T15:05:00.000-05:00I completely identify with every damn thing you wr...I completely identify with every damn thing you wrote.

You aren't the same people even if she is your mom. *grin* <BR/><BR/>I was home for 5 years with my kids, my husband worked over 60 hours a week... he was home though which does help A LOT!!! Take advantage of your husband being here now. Dump the kids with him and get out the door by yourself... even if it's just to go to the library or walk around the mall without small children - LOL.<BR/><BR/>Last of all - we all do our best to raise our kids. You're doing just fine. It seems they are healthy and happy - that is what being a parent is about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-1117623740916219602005-06-01T06:02:00.000-05:002005-06-01T06:02:00.000-05:00What Tink said.

I look at some of my friends houses and wonder how they keep it so clean... only to find out they have someone come by 1 to 3 times a week to help out. Or their husband is a neat freak. I fall in NEITHER category. <BR/><BR/>I have clean laundry on my love seat, piles of newspaper on the dining room table, stuff piled here and there. When I lived alone, my house was spotless... but I think the kids outway the house. Eventually the house will get cleaner. Hey, I got to scrub the floors a day ago - not just swiffer, I mean scrub with pinesol! It's getting easier every month. <BR/><BR/>And trust me, after being in the 'Professional' working world for 14 years, this is the HARDEST job I have ever had. Lonely, no praise, and I could go on. You are not alone.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck at finding what the best balance is for you... and don't forget, occassionally we all fall off balance. According to my Hubby, me more than others. ;-)vw bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18087316768090892945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-1117608254408374452005-06-01T01:44:00.000-05:002005-06-01T01:44:00.000-05:00The perfect balance is the one that fits you the b...The perfect balance is the one that fits you the best. <BR/><BR/>A sparkling toilet will last a few minutes, and in a few years you'll look back and say, eh, so my toilet was sparkling, but what happened to that tiny Pink Ninja or the dashing Dash?<BR/><BR/>They grow too fast...but the toilet will still be the same toilet in 20 years...<BR/><BR/>Good luck in finding your balance.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459034026748403735noreply@blogger.com
