Sometimes I feel like I have way too many things going on so I started to make a list of what I do or should be doing all day.
First and most importantly being a wife to the love of my life Jeremy and a Mom to Jett which includes, feedings, changing dirty diapers, baths, keeping my eyes on him at all times, entertaining, singing, reading stories, going on walks, and constantly trying to figure out what he wants. Not to mention the fact that is he always on my mind, (even when I am sleeping I am listening for him).
Then there is the house, cleaning, bathrooms, vacuuming, sweeping, the dishwasher that is loaded at least once or twice a day, picking up toys and books, dusting, and the deep cleaning is at least three paragraphs of its own. Then the laundry is a 24-7 job, load after load, and then the ironing and folding takes all day. On to the grocery shopping, it is like an all day event planning the meals and coming up with a list of the things we have and don’t have. Then getting my self ready and Jett with enough toys to last us is a chore. Dinner planning and cooking takes at least one hour plus clean up. On to the bills and making sure things are taken care of financially. Which brings me to my part time job at KS Appraisal, which has been so awesome to pick and choose hours but the point is I need hours so I spend most of my spare time working for them. I also have a vinyl letter cutting machine (I used to do it as a business) so I have several people who still use me for things. I love cutting vinyl for people, the designing is my favorite part, but it all takes time! I am also the Mia Maid advisor in our ward, so I teach every Sunday, so all week I work on my lesson and try to get my thoughts together! Every Tuesday night I have mutual so I am down at the church for at least two hours! I can’t forget that I am also a visiting teacher and do that once a month!
For the last few months I have been working every spare second on my formal living room drapes!! I am proud to say that after 4 trips to Scottsdale, 3 trips to Joann’s 10 trips to Wal-Mart and 1 trip to Home Depot, I HAVE FINISHED THEM!! I still have the pillows to make and to find some art and that room will be completely done. On to my real estate mess!! I have been taking my renewal hours I have to have 24 credit hours before September 30th so I have been taking classes like crazy to finish them, while trying to manage a few real estate deals. Oh I can’t forget to add to this list that I love my Blog and try to keep it updated!
I feel like my life is so crazy sometimes, but the crazier is gets the more blessed I feel. I can’t even begin to tell someone how I feel about life! How wonderful it is!! How blessed I feel to live in a free country and do all of these things!

Amen to all of that! There are certainly days when I feel like I will NEVER get caught up on everything I need to do. But somehow it usually works out! You are so crafty to make those curtains. WOW! Brynlie won't let me start on any projects. She interupts me every second. I don't know how you got them done with everything else you have going on. Jett is so cute and getting big. He is such a perfect mix of you and Jeremy! I see both of you so much! Don't work too hard!
I know how you feel. I always feel like laundry is never done and when it is there is always more waiting for me. Oh, it is great to be a mother but sometimes I want to say I didn't sign up for this. I'm glad you have the same feelings. Your curtains look great.
i totally know what you mean when you say you spend every spare second working... i told jason, i don't get a break because when clara is napping or playing with him, i'm working! but at the same time, i am grateful that i have the opportunity to work from home. your curtains look awesome. you'll have to show me how to do them... but that doesn't mean i would actually produce something that looks that good! :)
i seriously could not have said all that better myself.... i choose to be busy and LOVE to stay busy but somedays i have so much on my plate that it simply overwhelms me. i think for me its a matter of priorites and i have to remind myself as much as i love being creative and following all my dreams, reality is i am a MOM and a WIFE and they are my MOST important, number one... so at the end of the day sometimes its a matter of, was i a good mom today or is my house spotless... haha, i can't seem to do both!
Wow I have never been that busy!! I dont do hardly any of that. Maybe I should be more productive but I really choose not to. haha. Once I have 2 kids maybe it will be different but who knows. But thats great you have so many things to do but take a break every once and a while.
