Am I in this Boat Alone?
Being a small business owner and stay at home mommy is great.......
BUT man I could use some more sleep! The other day while at Sam's Club my wonderful hubby bought me some new pillows, he mumbled something about how he is tired of me always trying to steal his.
I don't know what he is talking about just because I jump on them like a starving jackal to a free meal when he moves in the morning.... Geez
But these pillows.... I got to tell ya they are amazing, that perfect new pillow softness, all fluffy and perfect king sized for me. And if they call my name any louder then they are at the moment I am going to go back to bed and take a nap like a toddler. If only I could get Max aka Monster to take a nap then I could....Sigh .. oh what a wonderful thought that is...
But we have 2 extra kids with us for about a week starting tonight while their parents go out of town, the girls have a school dance, the weekend is filled with BBQs and birthday parties, and my house is a MESS and I'm not talking Oh gosh! need to pick up the hot wheel cars in the living I'm talking Ummmm... Where's the couch? I can't see the floor kind of dirty...
And as a wife and Mom, I feel it's my duty to keep the house up and running, like a well oiled machine. But lately I feel like the 0500 wake up calls and going to bed at 2200 hours is killllling me. Anyone else on this boat with me? But I have tried going to bed sooner, but it's always a mad dash to get things done after the kids have gone to bed- product blogging, business editing, house cleaning, etc, etc...
And trying to get it done during the day with Monster is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
Is it just me? Or would you like to be able to freeze time just to take a nap too?
