Feeling Not So Balanced

Every once in a while I have a day where I question how everything is going in my life.  Today was one of those days (blech).  I just felt like I couldn't get traction in any area of life.  The house is a huge disaster area, babyjama was very needy, leading to not much work getting done, I somehow messed up dinner (which my husband very graciously ate anyway with a "this is delicious" comment).

When this sort of thing happens I start to wonder if I'm trying to do too much, and worry that I'm missing out of certain aspects of life because I want to "have it all".  Other days can be so wonderful though.  Hopefully tomorrow will seem sunny again.

  • Hang in there - we all have days like that. I'm responding to this a bit late so hopefully you are already have a better day!

  • I sympathize. I think every mother has had those feelings and those kind of days. Surround yourself with reminders of all of the things that you have accomplished in your life. Starting with babyjama and thoughtful hubby. :-)

  • Everyone has days like this. A horrible, rotten, no good, very bad day. :-) They suck but you can take comfort in the fact that there's no way to avoid 'em. Get a whole string of them and maybe you should take your questions about doing too much seriously. But one every so often is just life as usual.

    Hope tomorrow is better!

    BTW, I like your new picture.

  • Oh, this is me today. It seems like everything that can go wrong, that can be stressful, has all happened already this morning. I just want to go back to bed and hope that tomorrow is better...I hope yours is too!

  • I have had a lot of days like this lately so I know what you mean (I think most of us here do). I'm wishing you a better day tomorrow!

  • I think we all have days like this, and I've found that we mommies tend to be our own toughest critics. (So, I bet dinner was better than you give yourself credit ... warm wishes for a sunnier tomorrow!)
