You know when you have one of those days where you just want to pretend it never happened? That was my day.
Work stress, trying to make deadlines with not nearly enough hours in the day, getting home at 6:45pm after cramming too much into the work day. Family stress. Daughter's 5th birthday is tomorrow stress. Eating dinner with the family, cramming homework into a short period of time (including studying for a spelling test). Making cupcakes for the birthday girl to take to school. Cleaning up the kitchen. Realizing that because I worked late I didn't make it to the grocery store to get the ingredients I need for birthday girl's dinner. Wrapping presents. Knowing that somehow I have to fit one more stop in tomorrow to get more presents. Finishing up work that had to be submitted to a client before the end of today.
I swear it's one of those days where I just want to quit. Throw up my hands in the air. Maybe blame Wall Street and attend a rally. (I really think it's the banks' fault that so much pressure is put on mothers these days.)
And yet, somehow I will get through it. That's what we do as moms, right? We just keep charging ahead. A few presents to wrap and then I have a date with my pillow and covers. So thankful for my husband who helps me through days like this.
On the bright side, at least I'm not this kid:
