Burnt Out

So I just wrote an entire blog and somehow it got lost. This just adds to the great day, week, month I've been having. sigh...

I can't even begin to rewrite everything but basically the gist of it goes -- Do you ever feel like you are doing 1000 things but not doing 1 thing well? I've been feeling like that ever since I've gone back to work full time. It seems like I'm always running around trying to mark things off my never ending to-do list. As soon as I finish one thing there's something else to add. Ever since becoming a mom, I feel like time passes by so quickly. It's either something I have to do for work, if not work, then it's the baby, if not the baby, then it's my husband, and if not him, it's even the dog. I can't even remember the last time I've done something for myself. And through all of that, I still get questions from my husband, like "Why are you so stressed out, what did you do today?" And when I think about it, I can't even tell him what it is I did, but I feel like the day flew by and I barely got anything done.

My mom used to tell me women were the stronger gender, but I never really understood it. I still don't completely agree with it, what I do agree with is that women are better multi-taskers. I can type with one hand, hold Tanner with the other, and balance a bottle in between my chest and Tanner's face. I then can be covered in spit up and spewed pumpkin and in 5 minutes be changed into a suit and out the door to a meeting.

I'm just burnt out is all I can think of. I have a short fuse and I just feel like I'm going through trying to get everything done, but nothing is getting done well. But in the end as I type this blog and watch Tanner beside me smiling his cute gummy smile, I can't help but think, this is the greatest time of my life.
