That Progress Report I Promised Yesterday

Today was yesterday’s antithesis. I woke up late, never made the boys leave their pajamas and Owen wet his pants.

I did get a lot done yesterday but got discouraged by days end because I couldn’t do all of it. I’m emotional today and it just feels like I can’t get the cloud off my back no matter how fast I run from it or how hard I lift. I haven’t been depressed all day, it just sort of feels like I’m being followed by that sinister character of failure. I will not be overcome.

I do feel better right now. Kris and I talked when he got home from work (you know that made me feel better) then once the boys were in bed I took a hot bath and went through a few of tomorrow’s obstacles in order to get a jump on things.

I predict sunshine and smiles from here on out.

  1. Well, I’ve done a little catching up on your blog. I’m glad you wrote the details of the MI trip b/c I didn’t. Now I can look at your blog to remember what happened.

    You know? It surprises me, I guess, that you would feel like a failure. I see you as very productive. You’re a great mother and always come up with the most impressive creations, whether it be art, accessories, food or music. And you make people LAUGH. Shoot, I’m laughing now just thinking about you. Love ya!

  2. It’s funny but I feel that way too, a lot. I always feel like everyone I know is a much better stay-at-home-mom than I am, that they are much more productive, and that I will never get enough accomplished. Hmmm, maybe we should cut ourselves some slack?

    I hate it that you’re having a bad day but it is reassuring knowing that I’m not the only one that has those days.
