A while back I posted this picture to Instagram and Facebook with the following caption.
"If I could get fired from my job I probably would. It's 1am, I'm going to bed and my kitchen looks like this. Seriously, I can hear The Donald's 'You're fired!' ringing in my ear."
Today, while feeling overwhelmed by the amount of mess that has accumulated in my kitchen and front room since we arose this morning, it occurred to me that you couldn't pay someone to do what I do. No one would ever dream of hiring ONE person to take care of their children, clean their house and provide all their meals. There are labor laws against that kind of stuff. So, I guess I can't really expect to be the best caretaker, housekeeper and cook all the time because expecting that from anyone else would be completely unreasonable. After this realization, I feel a bit less overwhelmed. In fact, I think I'll leave the mess for a bit and play with the kids because if I can't do it ALL, I might as well do what's most important.
