I feel like I get nothing done.

I feel like I never get anything done. Today we had Dance class then lunch . Changed DD clothes and packed her up for Kindi then drove her to school.  Went to library and picked up a few books. Came home and Talked to DH for a few then went to pick up the kids from School.
I still have soccer practice, homework and dinner, and baths for tonight.

The house is a mess! When am I suppose to clean it? HA!

I hate days like these..but it seem they are all like that.

I have been feeling like that for the last month or so. My house has been upside down and I just get started on something, then sidetracked, then the house falls apart even more. I've just been so behind. It stresses me out! I need to start a cleaning schedule, my life runs so much smoother when I do.

I've strgled with this for awhile.  I found www.flylady.net to be very helpful.  Trying to find balance is tough.

I so know the feeling.  I take Noah to preschool 3 days a week with speech and sensory therapy on 2 afternoons.  We have playgroup one morning a week.  It is only going to get busier as they get older too.  I try to use his non preschool days or the weekend to catch up on housework.

I feel like this every day! As long as I get one thing done on my to do list, then I will feel OK about it. I try not to beat myself up or else I get frustrated. I always tell myself that the laundry will always be there, the dishes won't get up & leave, the dust won't fly away, I can always get to it when I get a chance. I am proud of myself for being able to clean the bathrooms last night after allowing it to be dirty for a month. Wow, motherhood really changes your standards of a clean house.

I feel the same way.  I concentrate on the main parts of the house daily, if possible!  Just incase someone happens to knock on the door dropping by unannounced...not that it happens often but the day I don't get something done will be the day it happens! ha ha!  Even on the days that we stay home and don't have a million errands to run it's hard to keep up with it all because by then I am so far behind that it seems endless.  I call housework the never ending story!  Because it really never ends.  Got up enough energy yesterday to clean the girls room of the toys...going to get in there one day and get them all organized, want some of those containers and all...but you can see the floor now!  YAY!  Terrible I know but it's the truth. I feel like it's harder to keep up with them at the age I am now than when I had my first 3 kiddos and was younger!  Just makes me feel old! ha ha!
