Over the last 2 months I've found myself getting up an extra 30 minutes before my husband, while my son is still sleeping. I make a cup of tea and just sit on the couch. I don't think about the mess in the living room, the laundry that's waiting for me or the piles of stuff at work. I just sit, breathe and enjoy my tea. Those moments of peace help me get through the long day. No, there are definitely not enough hours in the day.

I think I'm going to have to put reviews/giveaways on hiatus, and just start saying NO to companies that contact me... so I can play catch up on all the things I'm behind in. I really want to pour more into ny personal blog, as that is the priority, and sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that. That's another reason I value the baby's 7 pm bed time so much (haha, yes, I'm back to that). If he was allowed to stay up til 11 pm/midnight like many of my friends' kids, I wouldnt even be able to get done half the things that I do now, around the house and with the blog. :-) Yeah, I wish there were more hours in the day – I’m always behind in everything, but esp. with regards to blogging.

I love this site! Perhaps you could have guest bloggers every now and then to give you a break. I could solicit some friends of mine who are mothers (I am not a mom).

That's what my cats used to do when they wanted my attention; one would start pawing at the power cord and the other would strut across the keyboard. Sometimes she would even sit her fully gray butt down and meow at me. But I totally feel wut ur sayin. Some days get so crazy that if one more person says my name I'm gonna scream. I feel like if I can just take a good 2 hour nap, have a cup of coffee and turkey sandwich I'll be good to go. At one point in time my hair was shedding because I was so stressed out. Some days I would just hide in the closet (or fitting room if I was at work) for ten minutes and take a second to breathe. Its no vacation in the bahamas, but it helps.
