Never Enough

As a working mom, there never seems to be enough time.

As a mother, your daughter wants time with you. Wants to run outside, play games, sit together and watch tv, wants hugs and loving, needs the channel changed,  needs help picking out clothes, cleaning up her room. It's never enough.

As an employee, your boss demands time of you. Wants you to work on multiple projects while continually piling more on top. Wants you to not only get your work done, but ensure that your staff gets their work done. Which often means helping your staff do their work on top of your own. It's never enough.

As my own person, I need time. Time to balance the checkbook, buy the birthday presents, do the grocery shopping, cook the meals, take a bath, maybe get to spend some time with my husband. It's never enough.

As a working mom and wife, there's never enough time or energy in a day. You feel like you're doing everything half-assed instead of doing just a few things really well. I've learned to give up some things and let them go, but I hate the feeling that I am never really accomplishing anything. It's just this circuitous battle of the clock. A bunch of projects half done or put aside to focus on the fire of the day. There's just never enough of me at the end of the day.
