Slowly
Lately I’ve felt so behind the ball and under the gun, trying to balance motherhood with work-at-home motherhood. It’s hard not to feel like every moment not spent kissing or snuggling or nurturing or working or promoting is a moment wasted. I’m missing things. I have mourned, more than once, all of the beauty that I’m missing in the all of the small, everyday things. I’m spinning plates.
It’s getting easier. I’ll get there, and I will be so full of joy and gratitude when I do, for being able to have this life and this time and all of these moments with my boy.

Yes, you will !!!!!
It gets better every day and there is more clarity in the next day than before. More appreciation for what you did notice and experience and less feeling of loss. No matter what I know you’ll do great!
Like Steph says, it does get easier every day. It’s such a hard balance, though, whether you’re working inside the home, outside, or not at all. You’re always going to feel like you’re neglecting some aspect of life, but I know you’re great at this!
It gets easier. I’ve been a WAHM for 2 years now, so I know your frustrations (and guilt!) You adjust and though there are some hard days, it does feel more normal and balanced eventually. Just take it a day at a time
I hear ya. I feel ya.
Just hang in there =) I hope you’re feeling a little more on top of things soon!
