I would like to know how all you other moms do it! My "momfidence" is in the can because I'm not sure what I'm doing sometimes!!! I frequently feel guilty for not spending enough time with my kids. What is your average daily routine? How much one on one are you able to give your kids? Any good quality time ideas?


Breakfast, daughter off to school, exercise, play with the baby, lunch, nap for baby, pick up daughter from school, snack & homework, dinner, kids play / watch TV, bathtime, bedtime.


My son will be getting into trouble; climbing on the coffee table, eating his sisters toys....you know all the 17month old business and inbetween that he is crying at me when I try to clean up, cook, laundry...you know all the mommy business.


heavy sigh, lol...HELP!!!!! I know I sound like a dork but I have felt so inadequate for so long I don't care!!

OMG I'm so relieved to hear someone else out there is goin thru the same stuff...I mean I know realistically I'm not the ONLY one with these issues but man does it help to talk to others with the same struggles. I have a few friends with children but they make it look so EASY!!! lol -


Yeah, depression is an issue. Blah. I really try to do all I can to offset the "blahs". I recently quit smoking...started working out 30 - 40 min a day and I 've been on zoloft for about 3 years now.....
