OVERWHELMED!!!
Right now as I sit here wanting SO much to finish the 6 posts I have started, there are so many other things I need to be doing right now. I am not the type of person to let my house or myself go, but this week I just want to cry (and it's only Tuesday). Today I had a friend come over who has not been over in months and I was so excited to see her and visit with her. In the back of my mind I am embarrassed about my house and the way I look. I have not been able to catch up on my house work this past 2 weeks. We have had company over almost EVERY night. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE entertaining and having family and friends over, but my "ME" projects have been put on hold as well as my house cleaning. I just feel very overwhelmed today. I know people whose houses are just disasters and I think they are just lazy (and some are) but this week, I have sympathy. I have about 7 loads of laundry that need to be done, I have started so many different projects in almost every room and have not got any of them finished and the mess just seems to keep scattering. I want to be able to fulfill my boys needs everyday and be the best mom I can be and also give my husband the love and attention that he deserves. On top of that I want to be the perfect housekeeper, friend, employee, aunt, sister, daughter AND still have time to sit and watch some tv (my dvr is full because I have not had time to sit and watch anything) or read a book or work on my blog. I don't know what happened... but I have GOT to get back to where I was so I can be a happy me. I feel like I don't even have a second to shower (so of course while my boys nap, instead of showering I am venting????) Ok I guess I am done, I need to get showered and start on my HUGE to-do list. I just want so many of you to know that I admire you- motherhood is not for wimps!!!

I feel the same way some days. In fact I am blogging and blog surfing instead of showering and cleaning my house.
I think we as woman have a lot of pressure to be the perfect mom, wife, housewife, friend and be able to have a perfect house, make the perfect dinner, do all the scrapbooking, and everything else that makes us "look" like we have it all. But that isn't really how "real life" is. It is nice to know that other people go through the same things that I do as a mom, friend, and wife. Sometimes I have to remind myself that life isn't always greener on the other side because there are just different problems on their side than the problems that I have.
Hang in there, I know that you will get through it and remember that venting is good and healthy and it is good to keep a record of the good the bad and the ugly.
I have to say, I was a little relieved when I read your post. I just finished venting on my own blog. I agree with what you and Tammy wrote. We do have a lot of pressure to be perfect, and motherhood is not for wimps.
I guess we just have to learn to take the bad days with the good ones. Hopefully there will be more good than bad. You are a wonderful mom and wife! Good luck, hopefully things will get back on track soon...
