Wishing I could get everything done...by Sandra Beck, Motherhood Incorporated
Yep, failing the self care challenge for sure! Everyday I get up and think about all the self care I am going to show myself today. By the time I revisit that thought it is 11:30pm and my eyes are crossed. I think back to all the things I did in the past 18 hours and it is amazing that there is still a big fat pile of stuff undone.  I was speaking to my friend the other day and we were laughing at how we need to be cloned like in that dopey movie from 1996  Multiplicity.
Just thinking of having four of me is great relief. There would be the work-out me all fit, sweaty and strong. There would be the loving mommy me – smelling of fresh baked bread and always ready with a hug. There’d be corporated me taking the business world by storm in matching shoes and a nifty skirt set. And finally private me – chocolate coated, romance novel reading laze in the bath until the cows come home me. One of us would get laid – I am not sure who and with whom, but one of us would…
Alas I am only me and am pretty much a combinations of all four with a few modifications – sweaty from chasing the dog, smelling of playdough, lucky my shoes can be found amidst the clutter, and chocolated coated from grimy little hands.  My life is busy – and many days too busy to take much self care. So I decided that when my kids are grown and my dogs are deaf and blind then I will laze in the tub with chocolate and a romance novel whiling away the hours. For now I have two kids to raise and a mountain of laundry to conquer and you know what? That’s okay.
