....as I stand at my window looking out at my barely kept flowerbeds and my once beautiful butterfly & garden that I just had to have & enjoyed it to no end all last summer into the fall…however I have come to realize our landscaper/hardscaper saw stupid on our foreheads and $$$$ coming out of our pockets…yep we paid way too much to have him build a garden plot for us. However I do enjoy the garden. I think back to this time last year, my days were spend sweating my butt off in the hot sun while working in the garden, the flowerbeds and yard. It was an endless job that fed my soul; the garden also fed my family & friends for months to come.
Now one year later, my yard always needs mowed, the weeds just keep coming back no matter how much I weed (ok I really don’t weed as much as I should/could), my garden is full of veggies ( peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, gourds, etc), my flowers are in full bloom and I have noticed lots of hummingbirds, no butterflies – yet. When I have the time, or should I say make the time to spend the day in the yard I feel alive & energized…..so open to the many possibilities the garden has to offer……..but here is problem
Time or lack of time or lack of give a shit or ok just plain lazy……I am just not sure how women do it. Especially women with small children. How do you keep the inside of your house clean, the outside well manicured the weeds at bay, and the garden flourishing?
Then there is that whole bit where you are suppose to take care of yourself too….like exercise……not to mention doing a 40 hour work week out of the house, meal planning/shopping & prep……clean up – eek How in the world do you do it all?
Don’t even get me started on nurturing my children and fulfilling my wifely duties in the sack (or table, sofa, floor,etc hehe) How do you do it all? Get it all? And be happy while you are doing it? That is the million dollar question.
I want it all!
The problem is I cannot have it all at the same time……So what do I do? Drop my kid at the corner? Kick the hubby out? hmmmmmmm. Sorry Mitch - just a passing thought. Turn my yard into a patio for a pool that replaces my garden? Quite exercising? ( I guess you have to start before you quit). Hire a cleaning lady ( or maybe a house boy around 25yr old – talk about a dirty house hehe) Quit my job…….got that one covered, my current gig is up mid Sept.
Again I ask you…what to do?
How to do it?
How do you do it all??
Its can't be that hard. The wives on TV seeem to be able to have it & look good doing it....lol What would June say??? ...where is Oprah when I need her??? Is it more of a matter of having it all or just being happy with what you can do when you can do it? I am thinking that is the answer.
Make yourself happy first. However and whatever makes you happy - do it!
But how???????????????
