Its a long, hard , stressful, time comsuming job to be a mom how do we do it? Well at first I guess it starts with the love that we have for our childern. Its hard to wake up every mornin doing that same thing every day getting ready in the morning for work getting the kids up gettin them ready for school rushen off to work rushing home to take care the kids cooken supper cleaning up all those dishes doing laundry getten the kids a bath,being the wife try to please the husband ,doing homework gettem them in bed. Getten your on self a bath then time to do it all over again. When do we get any time for our own selfs .... The dads say make time??? Huh are you kidden what is time. Time when? If we did that we would make things biuld up then it would be worse then what it was before we made that little thing called "TIME" so the question is when do we get a peace of this pie?

Boy do I know where you are coming from. My typical day starts at 6:30 a.m., and doesn't stop until alomost mid-night! I run the errands, I take the kids where they need to go, I also work out-side the home, I am the primary one to keep the house clean and the laundry done, as you know, the list goes on and on and on. My husband normall comed home from work and relaxes. Now, with the boys in wrestling, he goes to practice with them when he is home in time, but other than that, he really doesn't have much to do but relax after work. I do my best not to complain, until he makes a remark like, "Make time to relax!" or "It's your own fault, you don't have to do it." Excuse me! If I don't do it, it won't get done!
In order to have time to relax at all, I have taken to making Sunday the family day. We will go to church, and afterwards, go to the YMCA as a family or come home and watch a movie. I had to do something to force myself to relax, but it is worth it. I actually look forward to something each week.

oh mom... hehe.. I'm not a mother yet, but I can relate what you mean by observing how my mother has been treating us ever since...
sometimes, she'd just say, she wants a break or she simply just had enough of everything!
That's why ever since I could remember, I have always been my mom's sidekick.. I do the laundry for her and when she's not around, I'm the one who cooks and cleans the house... When I graduated college, I took over cooking breakfast so to give my mom a piece of that pie... ^_^
A toast to all wonderful moms in the world.. ^_^ God bless you!
