Time...or lack there of

Since being home full time with my kids I have been reflecting on time or the lack there of. It is amazing how taking care of two little ones can take up all of your time, free time, extra time, nap time, etc. I am so grateful to be with my kids and focus on them as much as possible, but I always thought that I would have time to do all the things I never got to do while I worked full time. I have this big list and it just doesn't seem like I will be able to get anywhere with crossing some of those things off. I find myself in a whole new world of balancing kids, cleaning, social, church, and me. Does anyone have an suggestions on how they feel like they get through the day, week, or month accomplishing at least something other than weekly laundry, doing dishes, picking up toys, playing with your kids, paying bills, etc.? This is all new to me and I'm open to any suggestions.

I always feel so disorganized, and my house is just not what I want it to be, so I decided I had to just let go. I can not do it all so why stress? I do feel fabulous when I get things other then the daily grind done and I try to do so as much as possible, but I think the best advise is just don't sweat the small stuff do your best and just survive :) I am always telling myself they won't be small forever.

I only have one and it is hard, I can't imagine it twice! It is true though to keep up you have to run constantly and that doesn't seem to get you ahead by any measure. I am so happy for you though. I doubt you will ever look back and wish it had been any different. Isn't it crazy how big our boys are...yikes! At least you are with him to watch the time fly! We miss you!
