This Hannah Montana song has been going through my head lately.....maybe because I feel like I am lacking in most of the areas of my life lately. I haven't cooked dinner in well over a week and I have not gone grocery shopping either. What have my kids been eating? Usually cereal or whatever I can quickly grab from a drive thru. The other day Ethan asked for some vegetables, don't even know if he knows what those are, but his body is probably in need of some. My house constantly looks like a tornado hit it. I swear I pick it up but it never seems cleaned up. I have laundry everywhere...this is something else I feel like I am working on but never seems done. I haven't walked the dogs in at least two weeks, any day the animal police is going to come and arrest me for poor treatment of pomeranians. I haven't seen my husband in two weeks....okay I have seen him with my eyes but actual quality time has been rare. This however is not my fault but due to a crazy work/travel schedule and opening a hearing clinic in his spare time. I am getting fatter by the minute...the halloween candy is already making its debut on my gut. I have been exercising (kind of) but it turns out if you eat 3,000 calories a day the exercise doesn't really help. I rarely get ready anymore...my husband is always telling me how nice I look when I actually get out of my sweats, but its only because he is not used to seeing me with my hair done or he is trying to give me positive reinforcement to do it more often. Tough for him because he is never home anyways, and sweats are more comfy than my jeans that are either too tight or so stretched out they fall off by the end of the day. Last but certainly not least we didn't get to any of the fun fall activities with our kids because we were too busy...no pumpkin patch, no pumpkin walk (even though I have been talking about it for 8 years), no corn maze, no pumpkin carving, nothing. So you see Nobody's Perfect....

Don't worry-- I don't think you're perfect! :-) I don't know how you do so much as it is, and now you're complaining that you're not getting enough done?? What are you, Wonder Woman?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Many days I never get out of my HOUSE, let alone my sweats. And the last time I dressed up was for the prom ('amember that?).
I've lived in my house for 4 years, and I still haven't decorated. How you like THEM apples? Other people come to my house and put things on the walls because it drives them nuts. I have a patio that was poured last year that drains into my house, and I have yet to have it ripped out and replaced, let alone going after the jerk that did it in the first place. So now my back room just floods every time it rains.
My dog is lucky if he gets to go play frisbee across the street three times a week. No walking (although my goal today is to walk with him to the church to go vote).
DON'T GET DOWN ON YOURSELF. You're smart, beautiful, and a great mom. What more do you have to be??
Ditto to all! Except I did try to cram in all the fall activites but not without a lot of screaming, yelling, stress and tears (some even from mom)!
It's been said that we women folk beat ourselves up to much! When we try to do it all we end up feeling guilty for all the STRESS it caused and when we don't do any of it we end up feeling guilty because we should have done more. Is there any way to win this battle?
Here's to just keeping our heads above water!
you're great at a LOT of things...and you're a PERFECT best friend!!!
love ya!
I loved this post! You get a big AMEN from me... I totally feel the same way half the time. BUT, I had a great friend that told me once, "your worst day is someone else's best day." Hang in there! I think you're great.
Hey, I gave up on dinners quite a while ago. We were eating out so much, I finally started using My Girlfriend's Kitchen for dinners. They are pretty tasty, easy to make and clean up, and they are less expensive and more healthy than eating out. There will be plenty of time to be the "perfect mom" but unfortunately, it will be after your kids are gone so just enjoy the chaos and remember that you are loved despite those things that you consider imperfections...because I'm sure your kids and husband don't! We're all with ya sister!
