I am a Mom and a wife that works full-time. My day starts at 6:30 am (if not earlier) and I don’t sit back down to relax until sometime after 8:00 pm. The intention of this post is not to make you feel sorry for me, but to realize that working Moms need 8 days in a week. I also don’t want to take away from the stay-at-home Moms because that’s a full time job too, so I feel they also need 8 days in a week. With that said, the 8th day would be just for the Mom. It would allow Moms to get caught up on things they wish they could do without interruptions. Here is an example…
Last weekend I had high intentions of getting my house completely cleaned, make baby food, grocery shop, paint and enjoy time “me time.” Well I managed to get the grocery shopping and some touch-up painting done. Don’t get wrong, I enjoyed my weekend with my baby girl and husband, but man, I didn’t even scratch the surface on my to do list. So on Monday, I was lucky enough to have the afternoon off. And WOW, that’s only a half a day, but I managed to get a ton done.
- Two coats of paint in the hallway (it’s done)
- Make 3 batches of baby food
- Vacuumed and dusted Morgan’s room
- 3 loads of Laundry
- Changed the sheets on our bed
- Dusted our room
- Cleaned the fan in our room (so gross)
- Picked up the entire house
I don’t claim to be amazing, but when given the time without interruptions, I was able to get a lot done. Whew. And that was only 4 hours. Imagine if I got the other 20…
