Those drink look amazing and I think I need one, along with that necklace!!! Hang in there honey! You are not alone!<br />PS-I made your roasted tomatoes and they are amazing!

I'm texting you a real life picture of my house I took last week for Katharine when she was feeling down too. It's impossible to keep our house clean. It's all I can do just to pick up most of the toys and wrangle dishes into the sink before Matthew gets home from work. But a few more baskets. It's easy to throw all the toys in them and makes the house appear less disheveled. But that's not cleaning. I run the dishwasher and quick/vac swiffer the floors during nap time because the crumbs and mess are overwhelming. I'm not sure when I'm actually supposed to find the time for laundry or real deep cleaning. It's impossible while the babies are awake and when they go to bed I jut want to crash. We all have moments that we get overwhelmed. We don't have a cleaning lady right now either and Wells and Tagg are home with me all day ever day. No MMO for a break. You're doing an amazing job and you need to vent so you don't lose your shit at home :) LOVE YOU!!!Julia Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077799760284042276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-21800357106780693292012-05-18T21:23:08.265-07:002012-05-18T21:23:08.265-07:00You deserve a good rant every once in a while- and...You deserve a good rant every once in a while- and it always feels so much better after doing it!

Her husband has been in the hospital for a major surgery all week so I have had her kids (5 total under the age of 10)all week to school as well. Sweet ladies at my bible study have brought dinner over, but it has been terribly fattening casseroles and tons of sweets:( have eaten like a blimp and only made gym 3 times bc I couldnt get out of the house with 5 kids lol!!!Her youngest son, 6, is a booger wiper...so I keep finding dried up boogers on my walls, carpet, sofa you name it! And the upstairs...well lets not even get started! So as I sit down for the first time today reading your blog(wine in hand) you gave me a good laugh!:) I feel you sister! But as much as my OCD drives me crazy I have to remember...I honestly cant tell you where the last 10 years went??? And in just 10 more, my youngest will be leaving for college:( So... I know one day my house will be clean and perfect so for now I will just try to deal with the mess;) And btw, I love your blog and think you are hilarious! Hope you have a great weekend;)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470362736928980670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-91905796885156430422012-05-18T15:53:01.701-07:002012-05-18T15:53:01.701-07:00That makes me feel so much better about my life to...That makes me feel so much better about my life today!!

If they weren't, it would mean you weren't doing a good job! As far as a cleaning lady--your necklace would have almost bought one cleaning. Think of it that way-is it worth sacrificing some of your "fun" money for it? It might be. I decided to wait on that until I went back to work full-time...it may be worth it for you now. I pay $55 weekly near Charlotte. It can be done, & honey, when I get home from work on cleaning day I feel like I am on top of the world, it's the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-87887657587055170422012-05-18T14:09:07.785-07:002012-05-18T14:09:07.785-07:00i just found your blog and i have to say i looove ...i just found your blog and i have to say i looove your style of writing and your honesty. you are hilarious!<br /><br />hope you have a SUPER restful weekend filled with those delish looking mojitos. ps i have the baublebar necklace in yellow and im obsessed! xoxoJordan - Queen of LA!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03925438575317189375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-85165979712726499242012-05-18T13:10:42.157-07:002012-05-18T13:10:42.157-07:00I think you are adorable and presh.

You always look so cute, make amazing dinners, write witty posts, and just seem to have it all together! Whereas for me, my kids may e pulled together but our house and meals are a hot mess these days! And I would do anything to have time for a pedicure and privacy while getting ready! Just remember that we all have those moments where we just want some "me" time, no matter how much we love our kids and how grateful we are to be home with them!!Meg ~ Chasing Pink Fireflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09453942618744302502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-44139695622766690262012-05-18T09:25:40.561-07:002012-05-18T09:25:40.561-07:00ha, this post just made me smile.
