May I begin with, yes I know it's Tuesday but I dont know what you call it when you feel like its a Monday and its Tuesday.
I had s really rough day at work yesterday. Is there a such thing as a GREAT day at work? Im not so sure. I feel like I am being pulled in about 50 different directions and I continue to tread just to stay above water. Not to mention that trying to balance Husband, children, home and career is not the easiest task. I wonder sometimes if I should just cut work out
completely stay home with my children actually raise them myself...theres a concept. Then reality sets in...wow wait...what about money. You have to work....we need money.
Life seems to be throwing curve balls right now, Im dodging them but they are barely missing me.
I wish I new how to relax. I stay so tense and high strung. My mind races constantly. You hear
noone can help you unless you help your self. Im doing better but have actually developed a new quirk...I cant relax...or sit, stand, talk unless my house is clean and I find myself picking up constantly. With toddlers you can imagine that I spend most of my spare time doing this.
I just long to be in control of something...my husband, children, home or career. If there is one thing that I have learned and know in my sane mind is that none of these things can be controlled. You can only control you. So that's where Im going to start.

Oh sweet girl...I know where you are coming from! I know I have been there and really still kind of there even with two teenagers instead of toddlers. (sometimes there doesn't seem to be much difference!) You're right, it's hard to relax when your house it dirty. I'm the same way. However I have found, if you pick one room or just one area of a room or space and make it yours and keep just that one space clean when you are needing a moment to relax go there. Have a cup of hot tea or a glass of wine or whatever helps you relax. Now I know easier said than done with toddlers but please try. Something else good it to take a short walk around the block. Weather is getting cool so if feels pretty good in the evenings. Blogging again will help-sometimes writing helps you relieve stress or at least let you organize your thoughts. Just know you've got good friends who will always listen to you when you need to vent!
