Am I the only mom in the whole world that feels like I'm a complete failure at balancing my life? Work, kids, homework, housework, laundry, bills, cat, dog, husband, car maintenance, kids activities, rest, time for ME (backburner) - it's so much to keep up with and feel like you are doing an adequate job in each area.

I'm pretty sure I can hear the laundry calling out my name every once in a while. It is cold and rainy outside so the house is darker than normal. I'm curled up with a blanket off of my 4 year old's bed. In less than 2 days it will be 2010. It seemed like when I was a teenager - in THE 80's (gasp) - the thought of 2010 brought on… Continue
