This week has been a little crazy and frustrating. My sweet Uncle's funeral was yesterday. It was very nice and my children sang "I Hope They Call Me On a Mission". They did a great job along with their cousins and we returned home by 3:00 p.m. to a filthy house. Exhausted, I changed my clothes and laid on my bed until it was time to go to work at 8:00 p.m. I proceeded to work and returned home at 10:30 p.m. to an even filthier house.
My darling children had decided to trash our playroom with popcorn, Wii games, movies, and DS games. I was not a happy mom when I woke up this morning. My husband still had not cleaned up his hunting gear from out of our kitchen and we have a sleeping bag on my couch that doesn't even belong to us. :(
Dirty dishes are overflowing as well as dirty laundry and I really don't care to look in the bathrooms to see the situations in there. Sigh.
I really need to go grocery shopping but don't have the drive to go online and print my list off, coupons, and drive there. Cereal for dinner isn't a bad thing, is it? I used to love to cook and clean, but now I really could care less about either. My domestic title has officially been stripped and it frustrates me a little. I literally just don't have the energy anymore.
I love having my job. I like the quiet time, the extra money it brings in, and the sense of accomplishment I have from doing it. But it's starting to take a little bit of a toll on my home life. I don't believe those mother's who work full time and say that they can do it all. Bull. Something suffers. Housework, time spent with children, laundry, etc. No one can have it all.
So I've decided that the only thing that I can count on in my life, is the fact that I will be cleaning for the rest of my life. Here goes!
