Busy doesn't begin to describe my days as of late. I'm kind of floating in a state of happy exhaustion, if that makes sense. I've been getting several emails lately asking me how I get it all done, keep my house clean all the time (right!), run my business with three small kids, etc. Well, to answer your questions, I've used more under-eye concealer than I ever have in my life and this morning, my six-year-old asked if I could please do his laundry today while he's at school. I think that puts things in perspective. . .
So, for those of you who have come here looking for "What Would You Do? Wednesdays", I'm changing it to "What Would You Do? Whenever I Have Time to Do It." :) Hope you understand.
Tomorrow, I'll be back with our most recent home improvement project and a giveaway to go along with it.
PS--Congrats to the winner of the ShopTen25 rug giveaway!
Thanks for keeping it real! I think you are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog Emily.. I am a stay a home mom and there never seems to be enough hours in then day! Take care of yourself girly! Enjoy some me time, catch up on laundry, and relax, no internet. Take a few days off you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Kelly
I hear you Emily, the things moms manage to pack into a day! You do a great job! Janell
ReplyDeleteI feel just the same way. There's never enough time in the day. Last night my son was at a sleep over and I ended up working 17 hours straight to play catch up. Crazy!!
ReplyDeleteYou are GREAT! I totally get it, my 7 year old has asked me to wash her clothes too! OR she will say "please go to the store today and get me caprisuns" LOL!
ReplyDeleteAs a mom, I managed to keep up by the skin of my teeth until my oldest daughter entered high school. (Sorry...you have a long wait for that!) Anyway, not only was I not doing her laundry in a timely manner but sometimes it wasn't up to her "high standards." So one day I looked at her and calmly said that if she could do a better job she was welcome to take over. She actually jumped at the chance! From that day on she did all her own laundry...including dropping off her own dry cleaning! She's 27 and we laugh about it now...Hang in there Emily. You are a great mom and you have your priorities straight. That's what really counts. Happy Easter ~ Ann
ReplyDeleteTotally understand! No one can do it all, all the time! Love the peek of your desk at work:)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love your 6yo olds comment. I can totally relate. Your doing the right thing keeping those lil ones first! Kuddos to you! and Im sure your business will continue to prosper! You have amazing talent and I am always inspired by your work!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping it real, Emily! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you are a real person. :-) xo
ReplyDeleteI love "keepin' it real" posts. Nobody is perfect, and I think it's important to remember that. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, the humanity! Love the blog and love your honesty.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've mocked up my room layouts and now just have to add the measurements. Hoping to find time this weekend!
I'm only a furbaby mom and I feel overwhelmed, you really are a supermom for getting it all done and having a fabulous blog!
ReplyDeletePS Diet Dr Pepper is my fuel too!
*** Emily, that cracked me up! Thanks for the chuckle!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm ALWAYS AMAZED at HOW MUCH everyone is able to fit into ONE day!!! ("WHEW!"... y'all wear me OUT!)...
Unfortunately, we weren't blessed w/ children, so MAYBE that explains some "interesting" things around here (insert grin here!), but I MUST SHARE THIS, with ALL of YOU... my husband actually said HE was going to the market HIMSELF (to buy TP!!!), because all those PAPER TOWELS were clogging up the plumbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY A H*A*P*P*Y DAY!!! And BTW, are you old enough to remember that Jaqueline Suzanne book "ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH"??? ... Welllll, *I* say "ONCE I*S ENOUGH... I*F you DO IT RIGHT the FIRST TIME!!! (Grins!!!)...
Hugs,
