Having a family and a career shouldn't impede me from taking care of my family the way I want. Granted, I do have to do it all myself, as I am without a husband to pitch in. But honestly, in many ways that's a blessing! All too often the partner ends up being more like a child then a helper. But the extra income and extra set of hands would be nice!
Like many women out there, I'm a perfectionist. Full on OCD at times. I want it all, and I deserve it all! But where to find the balance of work, childrearing, keeping my mind active, helping others, taking care of me, and still doing the baking, cooking and housework necessary to keep my sanity?
I quite hope everyone out there enjoys the blog, and that it helps them have it all. But this is mainly for me, so that I can live the life of my dreams! Are you with me, yay or nay? ;)
I can relate to the OCD part...balance is so hard to find. Like you, I need a certain standard of housework done to keep my sanity but I like to do other things too. I'm with ya!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that the crazier my house is mess wise, the less I get (or even WANT) to do the other things that I enjoy. I'm going to nickname my home the Soul Stealing Disaster Area! :)
