I can so relate. Being a working Mama is very hard. It’s an ongoing challenge to find a balance for us. I’m gradually learning not to “sweat the small stuff,” and live in the moment. It’s hard for me, but I’m getting here!

Kudos & hugs to you!

“Balance is a myth. Perfection is a myth.” I absolutely love this. I just wish my hubby could understand it.

I am glad you were able to find some sort of balance (even though I just agreed it is a myth) and that things are looking more positive for you. <3

Right now is all that's important. Decades from now, she won't care if the house was dust free or if the left overs were in the refrigerator or not, she'll care about how you made her feel. I bet she felt pretty special last night .-= Rebecca´s last blog ..The Sunny Sun =-.

“Balance is a myth. Perfection is a myth.”

Such an important lesson to learn, but so, so hard. I honestly don’t know how you all do it: I struggle with trying to be perfect every damned day, and I don’t have children – there are only two ADULTS in my house to worry about (so really, only myself). It’s so easy to get this ideal in your head about how things “should” be, and it can take over and over-shadow everything.

I’m so glad that Liz was able to help you figure out a better way for you. <3

OH. MY. GOD. You just totally made me cry at work!! (And while that may not sound like a good thing, it is.) I'm so glad I was able to help. I will happily take the blame for the jello stains on the couch since they come with the knowledge that things are weighing a little lighter on your shoulders. And? Reading this just reminded me to worry a little less about the piles of laundry and dishes sitting in my own house right this moment. Thank you dear! Love you!! .-= Liz´s last blog ..Cheese and Wine.

I am crying right now. I love this. I love you. I love Liz. And yep. Tons of love. You two mean more to me than I could put into words. Without you both, I don’t know that I could deal with what I have to deal with right now.

gah, still crying. Ahem.

Balance is a myth. Perfection is a myth. Sometimes it’s okay for things to sit. No baths are okay. Me not getting H out of the crib at 4am this morning is okay. Our kids are loved and cared for and that is what matters.
