Sometimes I feel like there are never enough hours in my day. I can't seem to get anything done. I clean then there's another mess to clean up. I do the dishes and I turn around and the sink is full again. The laundry, well let's just say I can never keep it washed or folded. There is always something and I feel like I'm just treading water and can't get out. There's never time for me and I'm needing it so badly right now. I feel I'm everything for everyone except me. I feel very unhappy at times and all I want to do is lay on the couch. Nothing is never enough and when I give it my all it always seems to be undone in mere seconds or somehow backfires on me. I need another me. One to catch me when I'm falling. I have a great husband and good kids, but I feel like I'm never understood. They don't understand exactly what I need, yet I don't really know how to explain it to them. Between school, preschool, taking and picking up Todd from school, losing my keys, losing my cell phone, forgetting my wallet when my gas light is on, the nasty lady at the bank who didn't want to take pity on my poor wallet forgetting soul, but did in the end, grocery shopping, Christmas shopping, appointments, errands to run where do I fit in? Does it sound selfish to just want to be me, not someones wife or someones mom all the time? Maybe I'm just a baby. I don't know. Too many nights I stay up late or just can't sleep at all. The only thing that tends to calm the storm for the moment is hot cocoa and marshmallows. I'd go soak in the tub if I didn't always have to fish the toys out. Does it get better? Time to sign off and finish picking things up, again. Didn't I just clean the kitchen last night? How in the world does it get messy so fast? If you have the answers please tell me~~~and give me a solution to my problem.

Sounds like my life. I imagine it will get better once the kids are more independent at least I hope! Yummy coco though! I love to get a nice cup of that stuff!
Girl, I've no suggestions or advice. I just love ya. I'll drink a cup of hot chocolate in your honor tonight ;)
I totally get it. Life is ridiculous. Sometimes I just let my house go to focus on work or I let work go to focus on my house, but there never seems like there is time for everything. I feel you...AND I love cocoa too. I've got plenty over here if you want to co-miserate sometime.
Do I hear whining----Don't you remember the "NO Whining" sign I gave you. Guess I need to find it, dust it off, and put it up in your kitchen so you can remind yourself. There will be "NO WHINING" today. You have a great life---great kids---great house---so NO WHINING!!! Drink the hot chocolate and then get to work and be glad for it---AMEN
So might I say, I can completely relate. I recently thought to myself, I wanted kids, I wanted a loving husband, but I didn't know that with those things came non-stop cleaning, cooking, crowd control, and never feeling like I get enough of any of those things done. Before I was married, I thought I was fun and unique and had charisma and personality, and now I feel like most of who I was is swallowed up in Mom/Wife/All of the above. But then I realize that pieces of me are in everything I do, in how I live and speak and thing. And I look forward to the day when more of them can come out of hiding. But I never feel appreciated enough, or understood enough, and Mother's day once a year sure doesn't cut it! If guys could understand one thing, it's that being a mother is draining in every way possible, and we need a break A LOT! Here's my secret, that's why I'm in school, so I can go to work and get a break, lol. Sad but true :)
P.S. I meant ...in how I live and speak and THINK... not thing, lol.
hmm I know exactly how you feel!
I hear you. I'll tell you what I always tell Brandon, which is "I need a wife!"
I was talking to my bishop, while getting the ward bulletin together, about this very same thing. I asked him why it was that Brian and Sean get sick at the same time and i have to worry and lose sleep and get them better, but when i get sick there is NO ONE to help me. He kinda chuckled and said, isn't it amazing that the only person who can really hold the household together is the momma/wife? I am wondering if i like that I am that person. So i totally get it. Except that I make Brian clean. You should totally put Rocky in charge of the toilets and sweeping or something.
Maybe only do the dishes after dinner so you're not stressed about constantly doing them all day? I dunno. Good luck to you! :)
yeah you sound like every housewife. you put it so well. Thank goodness for hot cocoa! I've learned to let the mess happen and when I'm in the mood I kick everyone out so I can go into crazy clean mode to release some of the frustrations about the constant cleaning (strange I know). But the kids get Daddy only time and I blair my music and have only the noise I want, no whining allowed! good luck...go watch a movie by yourself or something....girls night with a friend, I wish I lived closer!
So true! Hot cocoa is a great solution to many problems. If you figure a solution out, pass it on...
Just follow Elder Wirthlins advice. "COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT!"
Ya ya ya. I know all that, but it's still hard. Overworked, under paid. I'll get over it. Thanks though for the reminder. Sometimes it's good to hear it again.
I think I'll copy and paste what you said to my blog. Maybe it's just the holidays, I'm not sure. Life is stressful. I hope it gets better. Let me know if you want to bring the kids over. I'll watch them!
So Colton gets into bed last night and says you have to read Kasey's blog. I said "really"?? He said "it's kinda long but it sounds LIKE YOU"! So all that I have to say to you Kasey is AMEN!
I must say that hot cocoa looks SO dang yummy! As for all of the other stuff...I have no solutions either..It sounds like my house too. Why is that?!?! EESH!! What's a girl to do?!?! ha ha

I feel you. I was kind of freaking out about all the Christmas stuff that had to be done, but I decided to take two nights and just read a good book. I felt re-energized after that. Sometimes we just need to do something for ourselves!
Solution: Sunrise opens this Friday so let's go board.. ok it's not really a solution u'll have all that stuff waiting for u when u get back but u can pretend like u r 18 again and play like a kid for the day!
I was just wondering how my sparkling clean house got royally messed up in less than a day.
I think kids are magical. There is no other explaination.
here, here!!! Any woman with a husband and children would have to understand. Being a mom/wife/woman is hard work and sometimes, you just wanna cry, cause no one REALLY understands how YOU feel, right? Well, just know, we do. As far as advice goes??? Girls night???
