No matter how hard us haute moms try to keep it together, there always comes that time where it all getrs to be too much. There is that feeling that everything is crashing down all at once and it takes every last bit of energy to keep your head above water. I am having one of those times.
I never know what exactly triggers it. Most of us haute moms are busy because, well, we are haute. We juggle our roles of employee, mother, child, cook, creative soul, wife, sibling, and whatever other roles we choose to fill in our daily lives. Usually it is effortlessly and with style. Sometimes, however, those balls we are juggling all come crashing down into a useless heap on the floor.
As a woman, some spa time, a drink with the ladies, or a quiet night at home is enough to rejuvenate us. Now I find that some of our roles (like being a mom) don't offer any time off and finding that important time is next to impossible. The hubby asked me today why I needed any time, especially when he never gets any time off. You can imagine where that conversation ended up. Tonight I am struggling with finding my place, and picking up all of those balls that have fallen. To be honest, some I would rather just leave on the floor. While there once was a day I could steal for myself when times got rough, I know that tomorrow, the alarm will go off, Stella will be up, and I will be forced to deal with my twelve hour day. I guess I need to find a new way to rejuvenate; one that is a lot less time consuming. For now, maybe I will just go by a really hot pair of heels online.

Back to Reality
I have had such an amazing week off with Stella. Not only was it amazing to have her visit with her grandparents (who live 400 miles away) but to also spend the days with her without worrying about having to go to work the next day or being tired from being at work all day long. Tomorrow, it is back to reality.
Times like this make me grateful for having a job where I am able to have time off with Stella but also wishing that I could be a full-time mommy. I have felt like I have learned or seen something new each day and wonder what I miss while I am at work. Luckily, I was able to take Stella to new places where I can watch her enjoy the new experiences in front of her. We have been working on her first steps and she was also introduced to the beach where I learned that we have a water baby on our hands! With the help of a good mommy friend, I had to overcome my dislike of being dirty after seeing Stella's joy in the big wide world of sand. Ick.
Isn't it funny how one can always feel as though they can never win? I love being home with Stella without having to worrying about paying for childcare or missing out on a big milestone. If I was a stay-at-home-mom, I would probably miss the working world and being around other adults. Can't a lady ever be satisfied?! I guess in a way I do have the best of both worlds, working on a teachers schedule with breaks and summers off but I can't shake that "she's only young once" feeling especially since the big 1st birthday is two short weeks away!

TGIF!
After an especially long week, I find myself more than ready for some quality weekend time. The school district I work for is going through some tremendous budget cuts leaving many of my good friends wondering if they will have a job next year. This week brought on hearings for those teachers, sending me into the classroom as a substitute teacher, as many classes needed coverage. I was soon reminded how much energy it takes to do this! Hats off to all teachers, especially those that have children at home.
As some of you may remember, I took a position in the Health Curriculum office when I returned after being off with Stella. The office had been a calm welcome after those days subbing. Add teaching my college class to the list and a night out at a hockey game and we have one tired mom. Full weeks help time fly by but I predict some mommy-daughter nappy time this weekend.
Here's to everyone having a relaxing weekend! TGIF!
