Turn the TV off. I think it's absurd to put these ideas of having it all out in the universe. If you had IT ALL, you wouldn't be on Oprah...you'd be at the BEACH sipping fruity iced drinks while wearing a 2 piece bikini! PLEASE! Thanks for sharing and know that you have a friend in "crazy mixed-up real mother world." LOL! Aly, do what I do. Turn the TV off.

What I can tell you is find a routine that works for you and not for others. I'm a morning person. If you flow better at night, have indoor camp after dinner and let the kids stay up late once a week. They will survive, I promise. Amy, we are always trying to figure out what’s best.

Now I really don't feel like "it's just me". I think I've been brainwashed by the "oprahish" type shows that have these "wonderful" SAHM who DO IT ALL. Their children all seem to look nice and neat, highly active in a range of activities, great students, and helpful. And the mothers seem to have all this extra time for craft projects, volunteering for the school fundraiser, the quilt club, plus home DIY projects. And that is not me. So of course I felt guilty that I hadn't finished 3 scrapbooks I'm making, nor any of the other projects I've started and that I can NEVER bathe when I want cuz when one baby goes to sleep I have to care for the others, not to mention once they are fed and playing amongst themselves I have to either fold clothes, wash clothes, clean the house, braid hair, start dinner, wash dirty babies, etc. Thank you for this post, I didn't realize that I needed it. So now I don't feel bad about not being the SUPER mom with only 3 babies. LOL I’m SOOO happy you posted this. Now I really don’t feel like “it’s just me”.

Working full time puts a big cramp in personal time with small children and a dog much as staying at home did. And I don't always fit a shower in there either... I wish I had more of a routine.
