Supermom? Hardly.

This was my first week alone with both kids.  Yes, I've been staying at home for a few months now, but we took Adalynn out of her daycare because we couldn't afford it even at the part-time rate.  So now I have both Adalynn and Wesley to myself all day long.  Let me just say - I'm not sure I'm cut out for this!  It's exhausting, and it's frustrating trying to keep them both happy, stay on somewhat of a schedule for naptimes and feedings, yet get out of the house so they're not cooped up on these nice days.  I don't know SAHMs do it without losing their mind, especially those that have more than two kids.  Yet I see and hear about all these other moms who somehow manage to get their kids from one activity to the next, have time to keep their house clean and dinner made and laundry done, coordinate special activities like cookie baking or other crafts with the kiddos, and still somehow manage to find time for themselves to not only shower but to (gasp) paint their nails.  I honestly thought I'd be one of those moms since I'm such an organized control freak.  Yet I'm far from it.  And the further I get behind on my "to do" list, the more I beat myself up.  Oh, and those moms that have it all together?  They're also the skinny pretty moms who wear trendy clothes.  I don't have that going for me either.  You'd think since I rarely get three meals a day and spend all my time on my feet other than when I'm feeding Wesley, I'd be able to shed a few pounds.  But no such luck.  I know I need to quit whining and comparing myself to these other Supermoms.  It's just easier said than done.   I've been told that it gets less stressful the longer you stay home, and I'm going to trust that is true.  I can only hope so anyway!
