I am...

I don't know what to say, but just have to write it down. I am exhausted, yet somewhat content. I am thrilled to be a Preschool teacher, daycare provider (2 kids after school till 6), primary teacher, wife, mother (that alone can include tons of other careers/jobs), and more. It does make me happy to be all of these things, but boy I am tired and beat.

Do I really have time to do more? I'd like to strip the wallpaper in my kitchen, paint several rooms, shampoo my carpets, read a good book, etc....But things I should be doing are: dust my house, water my plants, vacuum my house, sweep my floors (preschool room, bathrooms, kitchen, playroom), disinfect all my tables and bathrooms, oh and organize my office...including my desk and dining table that has papers and mail everywhere. These are just a few. But wait, first I need to put all my laundry away (thanks Babes for folding it all for me)-this includes camping clothes, blankets, towels, etc.

What's my point? Hmmm....Take one day at a time and not fret about what other's lives are like. My life is different than everyone else's and just enjoy the fun, exciting, and busyness that I do have. But that's the thing. My kids aren't in soccer, dance, have little or no homework, etc. So I am not busy with those extra things. But, my kids are still quite young so they aren't as helpful when it comes to all of these chores. The kids do have some chores, which helps some. They say, "Don't wish these times away with your kids." I am not trying to, but boy am I exhausted. Anyways, thanks for letting me vent some. I hope no one is annoyed with me, "you're not tired enough to blog!", but just know that I needed to vent a bit. On to laundry.
