When we first decided that I would stay at home with Jasper, I never would have imagined I could feel stressed out. I imagined the house spotless, time to read and sew… Yeah, not so much. The past couple weeks I have been feeling pretty stressed out. I am way behind on knight light work especially since we just shot a wedding. No chance to catch up either… I have three or four sessions every weekend for the next five weeks.
I am also trying to get the house in order because we will be having a birthday party for Jasper next month here. (Wait, can I just freak out about that for a second? My baby is turning one next month???)
And to top it all off, we have had some seriously bad luck with Josh’s piece of crap car. Josh also ended up at the emergency room last Friday after a piece of machinery crushed his finger. Amazingly his finger did not break but he’s been in a lot of pain and not able to use that hand very much.
I don’t ever want to wish time away so I am working on enjoying each moment, even stressful ones. I just feel like I’m a little overbooked and overwhelmed and can’t do it all. I’m trying to take it one day at a time and one item on my To Do list at a time.
Any SAHM with a spotless house & laundry caught up is not spending enough time with the kiddos! Don't stress, do your best and feel good knowing at least my house is dirtier than yours and I'm not trying to run a photography business! :)
i know sometimes I idealize being a sahm, so this is good for me to read. but I also sometimes feel like it would be a thousand times harder than my office job. basically, i feel like either way it's a tough job to be a parent! so don't get down on yourself. as far as I can tell, jasper is awesome and that means you're doing a great job. :)
