I don’t know about any of you other mother’s out there but I have had a very stressful week! I am so blessed to not have to work while I attend school, but I have to say that having two boys, carrying a full load at school and taking care of all the household things that need to be done can really make for a stressful week sometimes. I typically try to look at all the positive things in my life. This week however, has been so hard. This is my 5th year in school and I think I am truly getting tired and burned out. I will NEVER quit, but it still doesn’t make it any easier. I am down to my last year and it is just all I have anymore. I know that sounds awful and negative but I’m wore out. I feel like I can hardly ever get my homework done. I spend my week taking my son to school in the morning and then coming home and feeding my 5 year old breakfast, bathing him, brushing his teeth, feeding him lunch, and then on Monday Wednesday and Friday he has preschool so I have to take him to school after lunch. I come home and clean up the kitchen from both breakfast and lunch, and run the dishwasher so the dishes are clean before dinner. By the time I take my youngest to preschool and come home to start everyday chores it’s time to go and get them from school again. I get home from picking the boys up and before I know it, it’s time to cook dinner. Where does the day go? I hope there are others of you that feel this way because I kind of feel like a complainer right about nowJ . On the days my youngest doesn’t have preschool; he doesn’t really let me get much done. He’s 5 so he is full of all kinds of information. Lol. It is constantly mommy I need this and mommy I need that. I love my kids more than anything in the whole world and wouldn’t change my life for anything, just some days I feel so overwhelmed. This is why my homework normally doesn’t get done until the weekend when my husband is home. I can go lock myself in my bedroom and actually concentrate a little. I know working is just as hard, I have done both. The only thing with school is, this is the beginning of what will be my future career and I try hard to make good grades so I can maintain a credible gpa and all the deadlines for homework, quizzes, papers, and tests can be overwhelming. Thank you for listening to me. I promise I am not a negative personJ. I have just had one of those weeks. I am sure next week will be much better. I tend to stress when I am feel flooded with school work and taking care of my family.
People think that a stay at home mom has a good life. They are so wrong. You work just as hard if not harder than anyone else. Mom's have so many jobs and we never seem to have the time for ourselves that we need.
ReplyDeleteI have been stressing this week and feeling overwhelmed with school work as well. I could not imagine how much harder it would be if I were a mom. I hope that next week is a great week for you.
ReplyDeleteBrooke,
ReplyDeleteAmen girl! I know how you feel! I have a 7 month old and she is going through the "Mommy" stage. Sometimes I feel really wore out to. Juggling school, housework, the baby, and my part time job is very stressful sometimes so I know exactly what you mean when you say that it is overwhelming somedays. Keep your head held high though girl! You have one last year to go so hang in there because you'll be reaping the benefits soon enough! Good Luck!
