Just do it!

But what? Lately I've been thinking more and more that I need to look into other career options. Big O is doing something he enjoys and while I am grateful for that, his getting only 40 hours a week means that I must bring in a certain amount of income to keep us afloat. So here I am faced with these questions. There are so many things I need to do around this house, so much chaos still to sort out, but how can I accomplish that while working 30+ hours away from home? It's so overwhelming sometimes. But is it realistic to think that motherhood might ever be anything other than overwhelming? There are always a million things to do and even if you make changes in your commitments the list manages to grow. So what's a person to do? More and more I want to do something creative, where I can set my own hours but will that really allow me more time to accomplish things at home? Or will I end up putting in more hours to bring in the same level of income I have now? I just don't know how to do it all. And while I recognize that joining a gym will benefit me in the long run, taking the time out of each day to use it causes further stress in that it leaves less time to do all the other things that I didn't have time to do before I joined the gym. Is it really too much to ask for the universe to implement a Mom's day, where all husbands and children remained frozen in time so that we could actually get the never ending organizing and cleaning done in peace? Without the knowledge hanging over our heads that we'd have to stop at some point and feed everyone. Or get showered and go to work. Or move on to some other task before this one is finished. Are we "modern" women really just spoiled or lazy? Our ancestors seemed to accomplish far more in their day than we manage to, but perhaps that's too much like comparing apples and oranges? *shrug* Whatever ones opinions the fact remains that while "Just Do It" may be good advice, it helps not a bit when one has no idea what exactly to do.
