the woes of being a house wife

Okay, so I've just done a lot of blogging today, finally catching up. But I need to take a moment and just get some stuff off my chest. I have decided that there is no way you can get everything done that you want in one day, nor can you in a weeks time and possibly not even in an entire month. I mean this past week for example: I cut and transplanted sod, revamped my flower beds adding additional square footage and opened a huge new flower bed in the front portion of the lawn in attempt to cover the ugly electrical boxes so nicely placed in my yard, I planted 3 trees and a couple shrubs,  prepared and planted a tomato plant and a planter with flowers for decoration, I cleaned my entire house, rearranged furniture and made, made curtains for my kitchen, I cleaned out and organized my garage,  threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law, attended a MODBE party (where I found the most amazing swimsuit and can't wait to order more...ps. I am going to have a ModBe party later this month), and finally found time to update my blog, curl my hair and put on a little makeup. And that is only just a part of what I've accomplished. My list is still longer than it probably should be and when I look at another woman who seems to have it all together I just want to give up and throw everything in the trash. Is it just me or is there too much to do?

I totally agree!! Way to much to do! I don't nearly do as much as you but still! I do need to weed the flower beds that don't have any flowers and plant a small garden!! Um I think you should take a picture of your curtains and post it I want to see your work!!

Katie, love your blog. I'm so glad to hear about your life, since I think you're incredibly amazing. I completely agree - I don't know if there's just not enough time in the day, or way too much on my list. But the list never ends, no matter what gets crossed off, and night-time always comes no matter how hard I try. We have to just keep plodding along and doing and redoing all of the things that come with life.

Seriously, can you come over to my house and give me some inspiration. You are amazing. I know what you mean though, everyday I have things on my list that I am determined to get done and then nothing seems to get done, but I am exhausted.
On another note, we need to hang out! I miss you guys.

You have been one busy lady! There are not enough hours in the day.

Why would you feel bad? Seriously? Did you look at the list of things you accomplished? You are wonderwoman. As I type this I'm ignoring all my wife duties and playing on the computer instead. Life will never be the way you want it. Might as well enjoy it the way it is.
