I don't know what it is about Fridays... for a mom, it's really just like any other day, but for some reason I only want to lay around the house and snuggle with my kids. Fridays used to be the days I would be the most productive and get things all ready for us to enjoy the weekend... but not anymore. It's just pillows, blankies, hot cocoa and lots of love! Maybe I should at least get my butt up to make breakfast...

i totally agree!!! except that lately i have been feeling like that every day!
o ps i have a few more onesies for you!
yeah... being pregnant will do that to you!
Help me!!! I am still wondering how you (and others) do so much...and still have time to relax:) I am always struggling with the fact that I am restless and always doing "stuff" but I feel like I don't ever get "ahead". My days are filled with the usual stuff - daily routines, meals, clean-up, regular cleaning, bills, grocery lists, grocery shopping, dinnertime, bath time...ect...I know this is stuff we all do...but really - by the time I am done with this stuff, the day is over and half the time we never had time to do anything extra...God is still working with me in this area. Any tips, please? I mean, when do you fit in all this normal stuff???
One more thing...I recently had a conversation with a friend about this very thing...being "busy" (and also "perfectionism" which is a big problem in itself). We agreed that it seems that our generation struggles with this a lot...any thoughts???
honestly... it was something that my mom taught me a long time ago. something has to give, and it's my decision on what it is. somedays, i don't pick up my house... somedays, we have eggs and bagels for dinner... somedays, i stay in my pjs all day. i just decide what's important for that day and what my kids and i need. somedays, i set up an art studio for isaac, put zoey in her swing and buckle down on my house. it just depends on the day and the priority...
i have to give chris a lot of credit too b/c he does all the baths, doesn't care if we have grilled cheese for dinner and takes care of all our bills!
Chris is an angel.......
i wouldn't go that far...
Oh I completely agree, especially with this cold weather...it makes you not want to do anything! So glad you had an awesome cozy day today!
I want you to know that still goes on even when your children are grown and gone. Enjoy!
Thanks!!! I definately need to start making easier dinners more often and maybe sit down (& relax) for a few minutes when Andy is helping with stuff:) He helps sooo much with everything...but while he's doing things (baths, ect...) I'm usually finding other stuff to do...I think I'll make it an egg night today:)
