Do you ever have days or weeks or months when you feel like the maid? The chef? The babysitter? And do you ever feel like you really really really stink at all these things? Or maybe you don't stink but you are just mediocre. And so everything you do gets a half-crap job And then if it isn't bad already, you meet a woman who does all of it and is really really really good at it.
Maybe its me. Or maybe its January. Or maybe it is that is raining and going to rain all week (yes, I know we are in a drought, but I have toddlers!) Or maybe it is that bike numero tres got stolen today. Either way, I think I've got the blues.
So to lighten the mood, I found a funny video about the never ending laundry. And because I am computer lame I can't attach a movie from you tube (any help?). Anyway, go to you tube and enter Hilary Weeks laundry. It is awesome and way worth 2 minutes of laughs.

YES. Absolutely. And I do occasionally snap out of it and do a good job at some of it;) And I'm sure you're doing great, especially if everyone is alive at the end of the day. That's how I judge it;) I'm going to watch that video right now! I learned how to attach a youtube video once and it was a major pain. Probably not worth it.
Wow... I feel the exact same way! But You dont have any family around do you? I am so sorry! I feel the same way but I do have mitch's mom and my parents around here for support! I seriously just had a break down yesterday and my mom made me go take the kids and spend the night at their house! Aww it was awesome but I got home today and everything is exactly the same way as when I left it. So Maybe its the mood you are in and how you look at "it" ("IT" as in everything, laundry,sink full of dishes, toys, clutter...)
when I got home I felt a little better but still everything was the same and just as messy as I left it!
You are not alone seriously! I get soooo overwhelmed alllll the time! LAundry never ends, and toys are everywhere all the time!
Anyway sorry for the WORLDS LONGEST COMMENT EVER! Just so you know that I am totally their with ya! :)
I think the feeling of mediocrity makes Utah the highest rated state for depression. No kidding. Trust me, even though people may seem to have it all together on the outside, the inside is a whole new story (Unless it is your mom, she's pretty amazing). You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Sorry about your bikes. Give your girls an umbrella, and see what fun they can make. We've had some great photo shoots that way, and they have a lot of fun doing it. Hope your week(s) get better

Man. I hate when I feel that way. I had a week like that last week. Except I was less than mediocre. It was horrible. But now I'm over it. Except still exhausted.
All the Time!!
Oh you're not alone at all. I feel like that all the time!
I checked out the you tube video and was great to watch! It reminded me of "These are some of my Favorite things" (bedtime and naptime) that you performed for our ward last year. And let me just say, you were not mediocre at that at all, you were awesome! I loved it. You are so talented, but yes I understand sometimes it is so hard to remember we can't do it all perfectly. :)
I feel this way and I don't even have children yet!! Hang in there! You are a great mommy!
I have missed reading your blog. What cute little girls you have. An AMEN to that last post. I think that the feeling is totally normal and it doesn't help that it is January....my least favorite month!! I am going to watch the video now!
Thanks for your comments on my blog and yes as my blog indicated I feel the same way. I guess we have to stop being so hard on our selves and realize we are only doing the best we can. I guess God trusts us enough to handle motherhood. I agree this is a lot harder than the mish but like the mish the good days and the things kids do make it all worth it!
Oh sista, do I ever feel you there!!! Can I just say AMEN! This is me commiserating with you and wishing we weren't in different states so we could do it in person. Hugs my friend!
