I know I should be used to it by now, but I'm not.
It still surprises me that my cupboards and refrigerator can be fully stocked one week and then Bwammo! everything seems to be gone the next. Like gone, gone. With nothing but crumbs and cobwebs left behind. *sigh*
I once heard someone say that assembly-line workers were apt to depression because their work was so repetitive and they never felt like they made any progress.
Hell0-0-0-0! What about moms??
Especially us, Cuban mothers, whose self-esteem rises and falls depending on the satisfaction of their family and guests. (And okay, I know that's irrational and wrong, but that's not important right now.)
Today, Self-Portrait Tuesday finds me where you will always usually find me on Tuesdays, and surprisingly also on Thursdays, Saturdays and the odd-Monday afternoon.
I like to call this one:
"Mami in her natural habitat."
It's time for a Costco run now… 😉
Oh honey I know what you mean (or 1% of what you mean, as there are just the two of us). But yeah — I love not working for The Man, but I have to admit the thrill of having a clean house every Thursday (which is when the housekeeper cleans) has gone. I’m ready for some new projects that pay $$.
i hear ya! my typical shopping for food day is monday…and as soon as i am almost done putting stuff away on monday night (as i am trying to rush dinner, not be late for Naty’s bedtime, and put away groceries so i can sit down and take a min chill….i realize all the stuff i forgot to buy, didnt realize had been eaten, spilled, consumed, or wasted!!) ahh the life of being moms…
You are having an AWESOME hair day! Work it, girl! XOXO
And I totally get it too! My cupboards were fully stocked a few days ago. Overflowing as a matter of fact. Not so much now. The freezer is looking a bit low too. Wasn’t I just at the grocery store? A mom’s work is a never ending cycle of laundry and grocery shopping. Don’t even get me started on didn’t I just buy my kids new shoes. What to you mean you need new ones??? And didn’t you just get a hair cut last week? Sheesh…
That is my life. Groceries in…and groceries out. And I thought it was just me.
