I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had time to do much of anything, it seems. This past weekend I did find time for friends, that was much needed, but now I’m swamped again and can’t see the way out. We’re headed to a wedding, which I’m excited about, but I am fearful of the drive up (and back) and have no idea what to wear! I shouldn’t be worried what I look like, but I don’t get to dress up much and I never have time to shop — you can imagine what I have in my closet to wear to a wedding. All the outfits I would pull together are black or winter-y — I need my outfit to say, “summertime.” And, “skinny.” I may have to settle for the summertime look and not worry about the skinny part.
I have 24 hours to find something to wear. That sounds like a long time, but any working mother knows that 24 hours with two work days shoved in between don’t amount to much. It leaves my lunch break and maybe some time after work to find this mysterious outfit I’m seeking.
It’s going to get worse as a working parent: My husband is going to be out of town for half of the month. Thankfully, it’s not in a row, but spread out at different times. This, coupled with the start of swimming lessons and basketball games … well, let’s say I’m exhausted already.
At some point, after all this madness, I want to concentrate on some things I like to do, like this blog. I’ve already downloaded a new theme and am working on a new logo. But I have to find time to actually finish this work that I started, so that I can show you the progress I’ve made. My blog is nearly 3 years old — I think a cake is in order! I’ll have to find time to fit that in too.

Juggling parenthood and taking care of a residence is not very easy. Especially when there are children involved. This is very important to have a balance when it comes to maintaining specific tasks that are related to work, parenting, and taking care of yourself. It is very important to make sure that bills are paid in the residence. Also, making sure that all of the children’s needs are met as well. You also have to address their needs as well as your own. I know that if there is a spouse involved, it is important that he ir she maintains their share of the responsibilities as well. I understand that your article is tailored towards your needs as well as your experiences in your residence. I thank you for allowing me to read and to make comments on your article. Thanks for allowing me to share my opinion. Please keep up the good work!!! You are doing a great job of maintaining the homefront!!!
Sincerely,

Fatherรขโฌโขs Day
Father’s Day is a very exciting day for all males who are fathers. At least this is a day when it is important for men who are fathers to spend quality time with their children. In some cases, it will be okay for any man who is not a father to spend time with his own family. At least spending time with your own parents is very important. Men can even spend time with their niece and nephews or spend time with children inside of the neighborhood. This is very important because we have to keep our children from engaging in reckless behaviors. This will instill social and moral values in our children. At least it would let them know that they are appreciated by someone outside of their own families. This is very important. Therefore, validation is important!
