I started this group because sometimes being a MOM is SO HARD!

When I was in high school, my guidance counselor would not let me take home ec. He said "College bound girls don't need that class." Life bound girls do, though! If only he could see me now--my 'professional' and day job is being a MOM.

If you get stressed with laundry, cleaning, kids, time for you...JUST BALANCING IT ALL. This is the group for you. If you love more than anything being a MOM but there are days when you think you will tear your hair out if you hear that word one more time. This is the group for you.

Let's change advice, pointers, shoulders to cry on...As we get to know each other and tackle this incredible blessing called being a MOM!

I LOVE this group! I am right there with all of you all! Things have increasingly gone downhill since I started blogging and my youngest (18 months) seems to be a human tornado. He's in that 'follow mom around and empty every bookshelf I can reach' phase. I agree with Beth that I feel like I have adult ADD!

I recently blogged about clutter at http://myweboflife.kuzuka.com/2009/02/23/stuff/. My blog is focused on being green, but I will be posting updates and pictures of my decluttering process too. I'm really looking forward to the inspiration that I get from all of you ladies!

It is a chore to do it all. My husband leaves for work at 5:15 AM so I try and stay up and get things done from there, but some how that never seems to happen. Once the kids get on the bus I usually have a routine but I also have a very bad back and that has been limiting me to to daily routines. I try hard to stick to these routines and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It usually turns out to be Mom, Honey where are my............Am I the only one who can do something?

I have a two year old boy that is going through a tough phase. All he wants to do is be next to me and everywhere I go he wants to be next to me. Even when I am on the computer, he wants to be sitting on my lap. When I am trying to watch tv, he wants to be laying next to me. Every time I try to get something done and I am not next to him, he starts crying. Is that normal for a two year old or is there something that I am not noticing. Need advice from anyone. Thank you.

I can't wait for the day I can hire a maid, poolboy :), and a chauffer!

I love this group already. And I feel very at home. My house is NOT dirty, I think CLUTTERED is a much better word. And so true - I can't seem to focus on anything (Mom ADD?!?!) So a little bit of everything, but nothing noticible seems to get done.
But my buisiness is growing....
As much as I would love tips from you all, I'm really looking for a tip that shows me where to find a cheap (free??) maid? HaHaHa....

Hi Everone!
I am Doreen a SAHM, a former teacher, a wife, a friend, a chef, a housekeeper and well.... if there were a "All of the Above" box to define my mommy duties.. well that is what I would check off! I created a blog actually when my self-diagnosed "Mom ADD" kicked in.

What!?!? What is a "Mom ADD" you ask? Ya know the severe disorder that kicks in when it is time to do laundry (when no one has clean socks) and us moms would so much rather CHAT and watch Oprah than stick a load in. I understand how pathetic is it that I am complaining about laundry. It's not like I am going down to the river with a rock to scrub my clothes. But, sometimes, I would just rather not define my day by how many loads I folded.

Yes, my mind can go all over the place.. it is true what they say .. mommyhood is when you lose the abs and the brain. Which is why my blog is about everything MOMMY. Come visit and enjoy! Follow my blog. Ya never know what I'll write about next!
