Superwoman

I need to gain some speed. I need to wake up earlier, get more done, have some moments for myself, get a lot more done, have some moments for my husband, get much more done... I need to shift gears. I keep hearing about superwomen that have careers, children, decorate their homes, entertain, have hobbies, look wonderful, exercise... I don't understand how they do it? (I'm kind of half aware that women like this don't really truly exist, but I'd like to believe that they do and that I could become one!)

 

Lately I've been so swamped with work, which I love, but I'm having a hard time finding some time for little things. Like writing one little short blog post per day, let alone follow some blogs, put some moisturizer on my body (I'm dry as sandpaper!), wash my hair!!, cook a decent meal, do the laundry so that I can stop wearing my only clean shirt that has stopped being the only clean shirt a week ago, listen to my husband when he talks to me (sorry darling!), start walking around the house again rather than running, etc. I need to go to a spa and have a 2 hour massage, get wrapped in mud and sleep. And when they take the mud off me, I'll come out a superwoman. Until then...

You crack me up...(no pun intended)! I know just how you feel, I think in another life I WAS that superwoman, so in this one I'm tired! I've taken to writing lists(they are everywhere). My PHd candidate daughter (definitely, a superwoman, 3 boys 6 and under) tells me very successful people all use them. Some Harvard study proved it in a experiment over twenty years long. That all by itself bored me to tears. Creative souls, do not have timetables. Unfortunately everyone else does. It reminds me of my favorite quote "Will you come away with me? Or do you scorn at aimless drifting,for there are schedules to be met?" I think I need to go embroider that somewhere,later...

Hi T.

I know how you feel, though I don't have an answer. You make me laugh, too. So tired today but wanted to say hi...i laughed at the quote left by Roseanna, too.

I hear ya - this is exactly how I have been feeling lately. I feel like I don't have time for anything, and then when I do have time I have absolutely no motivation :(

I don't understand how these "superwomen" do it either! My sister is one of them. She has a wonderful life with a great husband, career, two incredible kids, lots of friends, and even makes time for tennis, daily walks, a clean house, etc. But she is exhausted most of the time, and often impatient. I know that I need to manage my time better, but I also know that trying to do to much to lead a "full" life could backfire and just make me feel overwhelmed. I'm currently seeking the happy medium. When things settle down this fall, I'd like to make time to work on some art, if only as a hobby. It's a part of my life that I miss...
