My current chaotic life
Let me take just a minute of your time
Many days I log onto my social media accounts and want to hurl with all the Moms and their perfect kids, and rocking Parenting like a Boss. In my household this is never the case.
High fives and fist bumps all round to the Moms who manage to keep a clean and tidy home, pack perfect lunches, make healthy home cooked meals, have no washing piling up, no dishes in the sink and manage to have well mannered and good behaved kids. You ladies are living the dream! All I want to know is HOW?
Lately, my home and routine has been a mess. Its chaotic and I cannot seem to get on top of things. My juggling act which I thought I had nailed is slowly starting to slip and I have no clue where to start in picking up the pieces. I’m not saying have a pity party with me, but just give me a moment to say it sucks and I’ll be ok.
Marriage / Parenting / Life / Work – We all have to deal with this, and you know what sometimes its HARD. My life is far from perfect, I’m just an ok’ish Mom doing the best I can. But I do take responsibility for some of the slack, I have definitely moved into a lazier / drained comfort zone.
I’m definitely hoping that my change in job from 1 May will assist in stabilizing our home environment. It will allow me to be just a few minutes drive from my boys and home, thus drastically decreasing my travelling time to and from work – score – means get home earlier and be able to do everything that needs to get home, like homework, cooking, cleaning, washing, and importantly spending much needed time with my family (and also do something to get active – serious need).
So that’s me, for now. Once I get a hold on everything and find my rhythm again I’m sure it will be better.
Please don’t feel neglected, I will be back with the blogging vengeance really soon.
There’s so much which I need to tell you about, like an awesome review that Danny and Josh did for ClickTab 7, a recap of the Beating Heart SA launch, my CT Meet up experience and many more.

Oh,honey, don’t you dare feel bad or like you’re the only one. You’re in pretty good company for sure 😉 So yes, it does SUCK at times.
Besides, I suspect it must be in the air,because whatever order I previously had in my home is also in the toilet right now. But I know the scales will shift soon- once I regain my energy again. In the interim, accept that there’s only so much one can do with the time and energy you do have. We are not magicians. Unless of course,you are…then hells bells, throw a little my way please! 🙂

I’m definitely not a Magician perhaps we should consult with Mandy who worked at the Magic Institute, lol.
Thanks for the honesty T, it’s good to know I’m not alone.

Dude. I totally feel you. That’s life isn’t it. I just constantly feel like I am rushing! The only time I get a bit of calm is when my daughter is asleep. I’m chasing to keep up with my routine- we literally cannot go anywhere Sundays coz that’s now our ‘prep’ day. That’s my secret weapon. Prep. Good luck – this too shall pass!
Lindsay
I hope and pray it will, can I perhaps have 8 days in my week because 7 is just not cutting it – I’ll schedule day 8 for prep. Lol
But all jokes aside I definitely need to get us all back into a routine

My darling, I may have worked at the College of Magic but I am no magician. My life is a shambles, crumbled round my ankles at the moment. B does the cooking and the school lunches, my clothes are cleaned at the laundromat, I have a cleaning fairy once a week – and my mom is here to help with Charly after school and (being an old school mom) she tidies as she goes. I work 24/7/365 and everybody hates me for neglecting them all the time. The only thing I mostly get right is time with Charly in amongst all the work – and even that has taken FOREVER to get mostly sometimes right. I cannot wait to see you tomorrow and give you a big hug (and you Trace) I’ve never needed one more <3

Oh Hun as long as we’re in this all together then screw it we’ll figure it all out!
For the record B kinda rocks, C wouldn’t do that even if I paid him. Lol
