Guess what, I'm not super mom. I know I'm not the only one to feel this way, but I just can't do everything. I'm am not the type of mom who can hold down a full time job, volunteer at least once a week, keep my house clean, my family fed, make lunches, give baths, brush teeth, etc, etc. Now put on top of that the fact that we are going to be moving New Year's Eve and I have to get the house ready to sell, stuff ready for garage sales, things packed that we're keeping but not taking to Africa, and figure out all the appointments we need to make in order to get there, and you have a crazy woman on your hands. I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now and am not sure how much more I can take. I'm just looking forward to the day when I won't have to work and I can just focus on taking care of my family.

You see, even without the stress of moving and all that involves, I've realized recently that I can't hold down a full time job and do all that I need to do in order to keep my household running. I'm just not that person. Now I know my mom would just call me lazy, but I'm not. I just get so frustrated with the situation and with the fact that I'm doing almost everything that I sometimes just give up and let things lie. What's wrong with giving my son cereal for dinner when all the dishes have been sitting in the sink for a week? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And what's wrong with giving him a wipee bath every once in a while? Nothing. I don't mind cooking and cleaning, but I can't seem to keep up with everything. So that's why I just want to quit my job and hold down the fort. Too bad that's just not possible right now. I just have to keep telling myself 'just a few more months and I'm home free'.

And just as a side note, I absolutely love my job. I'm very good at it and it helps me relax. I'm an introvert and need alone time to unwind and I get plenty of alone time at work. There is the contact with other adults, but I'm not really the type of person that needs that. I just usually need to sit down and be alone for about 20 minutes and I'm recharged-I think that's why I like baths so much!

Anyway, there's my little rant. Thanks for listening.
