If I’m a Stay-At-Home mom, how come I’m always in my car?

This past week has trompled me flat. Monday and Tuesday were completely absorbed by business stuff. By Tuesday night I realized that I hadn’t really looked at my kids once in 48 hours. Wednesday was completely scheduled from crawling out of bed earlier than usual to falling into bed at night. There were a few gaps in events, but I used them up by collapsing in a heap. Today I was away from the house all morning, spent one hour at home, then turned around to be gone most of the afternoon. I’ve done exactly zero laundry or housework this week and it really shows. I feel all messy and irritable. Of course not being able to squeeze a shower into the schedule might have something to do with that.

Tomorrow I’ve cleared the decks. I have no out of the house events. I’m going to stay home and catch up. At least in theory, there will probably be a nap involved. Maybe Howard and I will have a chance to do more than cross paths as well. I honestly do not know how people who work away from their houses manage.

  1. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME SANDRA!!!

    I ALMOST feel guilty that my move has made my life a little slower and a little less hectic.
    I have really enjoyed going from Always in the CAR Mom to Walking Mom.
    Especially no more wrestling SoccerGirl in and out of her car seat
    6 times a day!
    Let’s both enjoy a quiet, restful weekend. Oops! except I have a lot of errands to run..oh well… YOU definitely have a quiet, restful weekend.
    Nap away! Naps are really good things.

    Don’t feel guilty. I really loved coming to see your new house. It was good for Gleek and Patches to get out to someplace new as well. I’m glad you don’t have to be in the car as much. As soon as it stops raining I plan to start walking the kids to and from school. Maybe that will help burn off some of Gleeks excess energy.
