“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” ~John Burroughs
Life has become quite a challenge lately...I remember before I had
kids, I thought I had somewhat of a stressful life. I had just moved from Puerto Rico to NY and I immediately found out
that living here, life was just hectic and extremely fast paced to what I was
accustomed to. Now, fast forward to being married with kids and a full time
employee I look back and say "Damn, I had it good".
Today, I find
myself wondering how do women manage to work 40+ hours a week, be stuck in traffic 2+
hours a day. Go to the gym (loose the baby weight), go home to homework,
prepare lunch bags for the next day, give bath to all 3 little ones and then
COOK? Really, how come they have time to do it and I'm here complaining...
My husband has
been doing a lot of hinting that he would like a home cooked meal and of course
lunch for the next day prepared every night. I wouldn't mind cooking more often
but if I do that means that there will never be time to relax or unwind or that my bed time would be some time after 1am...am I
being selfish?
I look at the
kitchen with such a discouragement lately. I don't mind cooking on the weekend
while I wash 10+ loads of laundry, clean the house, take care of bratty-crying-whining kids...but ughhh I'm
just not motivated during the week after doing my nightly routine when I come home from work.
Oh and did I say I
rarely go to the gym just so I can maybe get home earlier or shop for anything that's needed for a special homework assignment?...
I wonder if I will ever be with these group of ladies...Mrs. Mj Crocker
