Little Lady Mom

Being a mom isn't easy.  I don't think it is whether you're a stay at home mom or a working mom, I've tried both and they both have challenges even with full time help. It's physically and emotionally exhausting and there are days when I alternate between feeling like I'm losing my sanity and wallowing in guilt.  Guilt for being short tempered, guilt for letting the house get messy, guilt for not pumping enough milk, guilt for not making more of an effort to stay connected with my friends, guilt for gaining weight or not painting my face, or not using hair conditioner-- oh the list goes on and on and on. It all comes down to not having enough time.  Say what you will about time management, and I will tell you this:  there are a finite number of hours in a day and there is only so much multi-tasking and hacks you can do to get the most out of them. 1.5 hours to get ready for work, eat, pump milk 1.5 hours travel time to work 10.5 hours of work 1.5 hours
