It's the Most Stressful Time of the Year!!

I am stressed out! There's no two ways about it, I am just trying to figure out which end is up. I'm ahead of the game with Thanksgiving Day grocery shopping and Christmas cookie recipes...we even have our Christmas cards and just have to label and mail them. I'm just stressed trying to figure out how to write all the articles I need to write and then oh by the way get the house clean for company, take care of my poor sick baby, cook dinner, and somehow fit in a workout. (yeah right!)

I'm not unlike any other mom out there, everyone that I know is in overdrive. Part of it is the time of year and part of it is that we all bite off more than we can chew. We want to do the very best for our little one and ensure that they have fun things planned that will also help them to develop and grow. We also want to keep the home running smoothly, which is particularly important if you are home like me and feel a compelling need to be Betty Crocker and Mrs. Clean. Sometimes something has to give, plain and simple!!

I was in super overdrive today making up for lost time when I was sick. I have a ton of work to do but the most productive thing I did aside from writing ten articles was to spend some one-on-one face time laughing with Faith when she finally felt like herself before bed. In spite of all the deadlines, chaos, meals, and tasks, my sweet little daughter is what keeps me going. She's the light of my life and the whole reason that I got brave enough to try and start my very own business. Without her I would literally be nothing so she not only gives me purpose but that smile can turn my stress into a pile of "oh I'll do that later".

So it goes as the mompreneur, never enough time for anything but constantly remembering that our children are what we are home for. That's what the priority is and that's why we're home in the first place. So here's hoping for a great short work week and an amazing first Thanksgiving with Faith!!
