Here is my question for all of you. . . How is it possible to be a good mom, be a good wife, keep your house clean, work part time, exercise, read your scriptures, have a good relationship with Heavenly Father, have husband and wife time, go back to school, maintain friendships, and have time for youself? I already know the answer is a big fat NO. But here is the more important question. . . What do I remove or do less of?

your cute! My philosophy is ONE AT A TIME. You can never do all of those things at once obviously...so pick one or two and work at it. Once it becomes habit...work on another. For example, going to school. It won't last forever...so go, get it done....and cross it off the list! That feels awesome. As for the cleaning, mom, wife stuff...I beat myself up all the time about it...but all you can do is try and prioritize. Jarom and me NEVER spend time alone...until one of those really big ugly emotional breakdowns occur....we should probably make it more of a priority as to avoid those! I think your doing great! Keep up the good work. Didn't you also mention to me the other day that you are training for a marathon....are you crazy??? You amaze me!
I can answer one question....For husband and wife time, bring Evi to me for a little while. Even if it's just to go to a quiet dinner. I don't really know how you feel, but I guess working full time, keeping my house clean while remodeling and after, trying to keep Kevin thinking positive...(that is a full time job in itself). Like Kristin said... One thing at a time. If it doesn't all get done at once it is okay! I love ya Kass! I promise I will be okay if Evi cried for 2 hours. At least you could have some alone time with Collin! Call me if you need anything!!!
I think every mom thinks about these things. What stands out to me is a conference talk that mentioned a mother regretting that she couldn't remember what her kids ate and talked about at a picnic because she was too worried about house work etc... We only get to have our babies so little for a few short years so do all you can to enjoy that part. Also,just work on the most important things first. The things that REALLY don't matter in the long run can wait. Also me and Brady time comes at night when Nathan goest to bed at 8. We play games or read...nothing too exciting but its nice to have just a little time together. Call me anytime if I can help. You are way busier than I am so if you need anything I am sure I can help:)
Uh Kas, your like wonder mom too me.. Really its funny that you feel you can't get it all done, when really Kas you are! it probably is overwhelming but your a great mom,wife, dance teacher, friend, and you do have a strong testimony and when i came over your house was clean. So don't worry I think your juggling it great if its too much just stop and take a min for yourself and then start up agian! :) It really gets easier when Evi can understand things better and she can start entertaing her self and watch a movie or draw and you can have some time! I love ya and like Nikki said if you guys every want to get out and come down for a nice dinner drop Evi on buy, reese would love her! And I would like the feeling of heloing someone else :) its always me that seems to always need the help! I love You!
I am totally with Channa...do the most important things first... then whatever you have time left for. and if you're wondering the last most important thing is a clean house:) ha ha love you
I appreciate this post because I can totally relate to your thoughts and I was able to take everyone's advice to heart...and I'm not even a mom! I don't know how you do it all. My mom loved seeing you the other day and was so impressed with you! As am I...hang in there!
