Every time I think I have it under control, BLAMO…something smacks me across the face and snaps me back to reality. Ugh…
I thought I had a plan for the past two days. One that involved caring for a sick toddler and one that involved completing a To Do list. But shortly after day one I realized my plan had been foiled by a little redhead {and my own bad attitude}.
See within the past couple of weeks my To Do list has been growing and growing and growing at an exponential rate. I had planned {prior to G’s surgery} to take Friday off and have a “kid free day”.
You know one of those days where you are home alone in the house and you can do whatever you want like cross a shit load of things off “the list”. But with G’s surgery I couldn’t quite justify taking another day off, especially this close to the Holidays, so I sucked it up and thought I’d get stuff done with him home.
Ummmm, yeah…Not. Happening.
Every time I tried to organize toys he would pull them right back out. He would literally follow me around and dump out bins that I just put away. Grrrrr….
I didn’t get ANY laundry done which means that E will pitch a fit about not having any sweatpants for school.
My meal plan for the week was replaced by fish sticks, and mac and cheese.
And don’t even get me started on the overall organizing, cleaning and decluttering.
It’s at this point I realize going to work everyday and sitting at my desk working on projects, answering phones, and putting out the occasional “fire” is MUCH easier than keeping the kids and house in order. Plus my work To Do List has items crossed off it.
I also realize I would make a TERRIBLE Stay at Home Mom. Like seriously terrible…
So to all you SAHMs, kudos to you. You make it look easy.
As for me, I’m definitely NOT quitting my day job anytime soon.
>Right. There. With. You.
It's been an exhausting week. Glad G is doing well!
