One of the downfalls for me is I am a working Mom. I hate the fact that I am not with my son 24/7. Although, I know the best thing for him and I both is that I work. If I didn't work, I think we would drive each other crazy. Actually, I know for a fact we would.
This is going to be a truthful blog. There are times I feel like I am over my head between trying to remember things for work, home, and for Caleb. I am thankful that I have only one child because I couldn't keep up with more.
At work, I work for 3 companies. I have to balance my work between those three. Currently as I am writing this, I am working on two companies. One company, I am paying bills and waiting for two emails to be able to finish that. The other company, I am doing invoices and trying to get those emailed to customers who wants them. Meanwhile, I remember I told the President that I would have the salary chart sent off to Hong Kong by the end of the day. Now, I have to be sure to finish that.
While, all that is going on, I am remembering I need to stop at the pharmacy on the way home to pick up a spacer for Caleb's inhaler and Benadryl because he is all out. Then I realized, I was suppose to pick up something else and can't remember. Because while I was remembering this morning what I needed, I was fighting with Caleb on taking his inhaler (hence the spacer) and couldn't make notes of what all I needed. So now I am trying to remember that because I will be leaving in 1.5 hours to go home. Plus, telling myself I need to write a check to his daycare. Luckily, I remembered to call his doctor this morning about the spacer.
As for home, I have to get some laundry done. Yesterday, I had to put comfy pants on Caleb because he was all out of jeans. I could have sworn I washed his jeans and there were no clean ones. My hubby jumped in last night and threw a load of Caleb's clothes into the washer for me while I was trying to give Caleb his bath.
Anyway, (I am forgetting some things on my list), I wish I was an octopus. That way I would have 8 arms and I could work on 3 companies, make phone calls, and right my to do list so I would stop forgetting things.
Suck It Up Mom Moment: I am not an octopus. I need to just do what I can and things will get done when they get done.
