So this blog was supposed to be an outlet for my humor but this morning I am forced to use it to vent my frustrations......Why is it that women are under so much pressure to be perfect? I mean we are expected to carry and give birth to children, then of course lose all the weight and look great, whilst taking care of all these said children, keeping the house clean, having a yummy dinner on the table and of course taking care of our husbands......laundry, having a relationship with the Lord ourselves....trying to find time to pray for said husbands and every other person we happen to know.....wake up in the middle of the night with sick children or hungry babies, find time to exercise.....ahhhhhhhhhh will the madness ever end!! What if I want to just read my freakin book every once in a while? Or maybe just sit on my butt? NOOOOOO! And this isn't even mentioning moms who work. Hats off to you! I used to work and found it even more difficult. I feel like I clean up so much and everytime I look around it seems as if I've done nothing. And I'm convinced my kids toys are multiplying themselves since there seems to be more every day.
At the Beginning of the week I always have such great ambitions, like "this week I'm gonna make heathy meals, get up early and exercise, have my quiet time, actually fix my hair and wear cute clothes" then by about Wednesday it's eggo waffles, rushing around to make it anywhere on time, crazy stick uppy hair, jeans and t-shirs - clean ones optional, and a prayer time in the car between yelling at the kids to stop fighting. Then every Sunday I think "this is it" well poo poo on that. No more. I'll have the crazy hair everyday! I'm gonna give all the moms reading this permission to chill out a little today. Let's read our books or take a nap........we deserve to cut ourselves a little slack.....so shout out to all my mommy friends......I love you......you are doing great!!

okay, i got some of your message..I here, in the bed, in jammies..stickem up hair, checking on FB and email, AND getting something accomplished..researching how to teach my kids about the persecuted church and how they can present it next week at their school program day..that'll give you perspective. I've found I do better when I have 2 pj days a week..staying home, in the jammies, getting school and stuff done..helps me keep my sanity..that and good Godly neighbors who don't mind having a few of my kids over to play in good chunks of time..shout out for the jammie days!!!
Girl, I hear ya. The key for me, a working mom of one, has been warranting my husband's help. BIG shout out to him, I'm truly blessed. But for us, we make sacrifices in a few of those areas...(i.e. the clean house). Things are just maintained, not impeccable!
