-finish a project, in entirety in one day
-not have to put away the scissors, needles, screwdriver, blade, etc. and then wonder where I put them to keep out of little hands
-having a house that doesn't have unfinished projects laying about
-having a house that is decorated for a TV episode
Can I get a maid, to pick up all toys, clothes, vacuum and do dishes everyday please? I just don't wanna.
This is the case of the let me have one day of the weekend off once or twice a month. A lot of you may not have the option, but see if you can get SOMETHING, otherwise I think it's coocoo for momma! You know those ladies that at 50 look all frizzled out and are nuts, well kids + house + kids + house + demanding husband = crazy woman. If I don't get time to myself, I get on edge really badly and snap easier, at DH or the girls, my tolerance is extremely reduced. Once DH and I realized it wasn't PMS, it was omg I cannot hear "mommy, can I/you..." once more before I put them to bed at 3pm for the night LOL. I absolutely love being a mom, but anyone can only handle so much!
I get a Saturday off once or twice a month, sometimes all day til like 7pm! Other times just until naptime around 1 on the weekends. I sleep in-real sleep. On the days I have until 7pm, I get bored, I don't clean, I don't do much, only what I want to do. If I take the car, I just do whatever, we don't have a lot of cash so a mani-pedi is out of the question but I can at least grocery shop/hardware store alone. (I montessori the girls-gotta buy lots of wood
) Yet I do find when I am actually alone, I forget what I went out to get, I miss being able to talk to someone about whatever it is I might be buying and I always end up shopping for the family. I'm in a daze and don't know what to do.
And weekend mornings are mine, I can sleep in, but I usually hear intermittant screaming, running, or have someone come in and touch my eyelids/ cheek.
When my first daughter was 2-3 and younger, she would sleep in with me, oh those were the days. My youngest wakes up early... now we all do.
This is why I fell in love, got married & had baby making sex. And this is what I think when I drive past the college, looking at the high maintenance young women, they look like that so they can have my life!
