my bedroom fan is alive. or so it seems... it is growing some kind of fur, so it must be a mammal of some sort.
seriously. when am i supposed to have time to de-fur my ceiling fans? i feel like life is a constant game of catch up that i am losing, mostly in thanks to my two dogs, my child, and my trying to run a part time business that usually ends up being more like full time.
at about noon today i decided rather than open the front doors and let my dogs run free to anyone who would give them safe harbor and rip my ears off so i didn't hear my baby whining anymore, that i would go to the gym. i locked the dogs in their room. i dropped lily in the gym daycare. i put on a bathing suit. i went outside to the pool.
i was woken up 45 minutes later (slightly sunburned) by a childcare worker coming to tell me that my child needed a diaper change. i wasn't sure if i should be embarrassed that i had essentially dropped my child in their care to take a nap, but i wasn't.
kevin comes home in 4 days and i'm seriously considering hiring a maid for the weekend to keep up my 'super-mom' guise...

Oh DO IT! I love mine!!! and hired her right after I went back to work :) I found mind on Craigs List. Good luck honey!
If you don't get all of that fur off you might have another mouth to feed!! :)
Get a maid and don't feel guilty about it. Less stress for you = a more relaxed wife and mom.
I never realized that my Cate and your brother share a b-day. She will be 17. Can you believe it? We are looking at colleges already. I am so not ready for this.

i found that the extended handle swiffer truly makes cleaning the fan blades so easy. it takes no time and people actually think im a great cleaner and pointed out my clean blades!!
Put Lily to work :) Seriously--get a second duster and let her dust the floor---we did that when A was Lily's age and she had a blast.
Then hire the housekeeper too :)
Part-time is a cruel joke--running your own business is never part-time. Especially one where the career is ever evolving and learning.
Then add some other life stuff in there and it is pure misery but you will get through it.
I so hear you on this!!!! Do not feel guilty about taking time for you- that is precious. :) And I have someone come once a week - for my sanity and sanitation of the house!I figure if you work you can pay for perks like that! :)
Take care - Meagan
