this week her journal prompt is:
Here's this week's prompt-
We all encounter challenges on a daily basis. You may consider yours something small, like having enough time in the day to accomplish everything you set out to do, or it may be a bit bigger- perhaps something you have to overcome mentally or emotionally, or even a struggle when dealing with a difficult person. Whatever the case, take a look at your daily life- what would you say is your biggest challenge? Or if you have a past struggle you were able to overcome, how did you do it? This week, write about a challenge you currently deal with on a day to day basis, or discuss one you managed to get past.
ok, so here i go. i would have to say my biggest challenge right now on a daily basis is getting things done around the house. i never knew previous to having a baby how hard it would be to do simple chores such as fold laundry, do dishes, and cook dinner. my son will be 11 weeks this friday and i still struggle to get things done. i thought it would get easier once the weeks went on but it doesn't. when he isn't sleeping he loves to be held otherwise he tends to get pretty fussy. i love holding my baby,i really do. but it's left me with a gigantic never ending pile of laundry that needs to be folded and a constant small amount of dirty dishes that needs to be washed.
everyone says to ignore the laundry, and ignore the dishes but it absolutely drives me crazy. our schedule is so crazy right now and that's probably because we don't really have one. between feeding, pumping, doctor appointments, naps, and mommy and me groups it's hard to set things in stone right now. i should probably listen and let it all go, because i don't think it's something i'll get past anytime soon. at least i'm getting to spend some wonderful time with my new baby boy.
