(This is her "oh wow mom you have so much to do" face!)
I have had people asking me lately how I get all this blogging stuff done in my life. I'm staying home with Isis, but "staying home" is a whole lot different than just sitting on my butt all day playing with my baby. Oh my goodness! I'm doing laundry, cleaning up, feeding her, playing with her, going to the grocery, running errands, finding time to blog, finding time to feed myself, meeting up with friends for lunch sometimes, working sporadically at the company where I used to work - not to mention the fact that I'm watching my best friend's 2 girls every Tuesday & Thursday (along with Isis)!!! That's a lot for me!! Oh and of course I have to somehow find time to fit in time with my husband when he gets home from work!!
Yes I'm doing the 31DBBB challenge & yes I'm keeping up with my posts & tasks, but I am not yet able to spend as much time as I'd like checking out the other blogs in the challenge! I'm really trying, but I would like to give everyone the attention I feel they deserve & it's just difficult. I'm getting more comments & I really do try to respond to each one, so that takes some effort! I feel like the place I'm really lagging behind is in my blog content that is outside of the 31DBBB. The only thing that keeps me going on this is that I know that my blogging will get much more effective, interesting & hopefully efficient once I've completed the challenge!
So I just wanted to let everybody know that I really do get overwhelmed sometimes & today is one of those times that I'm feeling like things are getting out of control for me. I'm making a list in order to prioritize! I've also got a folder in my bookmarks of "Links to Check Out" and it's getting pretty crazy...
How are you doing with the challenge?
Or with life in general when things get busy??

Now I'm just doing the tasks as they come along, and slipping the writing ones into the rest of my blogging. It took a bunch of the pressure off instantly.
Hope your many hats fall into place more often than not.

I think there is no job harder than a SAHM. We do it all, 24/7, and then some. It get's so overwhelming, especially when the days are so full that we can't find time for ourselves (like blogging), but I guess I still wouldn't trade it all in to go to work.
I know I'd miss this crazy, full, messy, infuriating, wacky, entertaining, stressful, and beautiful life here at home with the madness :)
