I'm not willing to accept that I can't do it all - and it really bothers me. The fact that I can't do it all really bothers me. Am I the only mother who works full time, has a ridiculously messy house, never fixes her hair or puts on makeup, and has a child who would starve without a microwave? Probably not. Definitely not. But it still really bothers me.
I feel like if just one aspect of my life didn't exist, then I would be able to get everything done. No job - easy! No children - easy! Someone else to clean the house - easy! Personal chef (or a husband who loved cooking) - easy! No hobbies or friends - easy!
But I like my job, worship my child, and would go NUTS without friends and hobbies. If only I could have a housekeeper and personal chef. If. Only.
So what is the secret to balancing everything? I want a beautiful home. I want to be a good mother. I want to feed my family healthy meals. I want to look presentable when I go to work every day. I want to spend time with my friends and make pretty things. There has to be a way to get it all done and still retain my sanity. And to top it all off, I only have ONE child. Just one wee little toddler (who has the energy and destructive power of a herd of elephants).
I know that no one's life is perfect. Life is always tidier from the outside looking in. I just wish I was better at balancing everything.
