Productivity…

Apr 18 2008

Published by Squirrel at 3:16 pm under a very good mother... really!, joy-apolooza

A wonderfully productive day, where I achieved even more than I thought possible this morning, sipping my beloved brew, contemplating how things would shake out today.

Only catch: it was a day that involved very little interaction or time with my kids. Oh God. Oh no. I feel it. Ugh. Here it comes… here it comes, oozing from the sloppy, odiferous depths of my soul….

Mommy guilt.

Productivity. Children. Why must these two concepts be so completely and utterly mutually exclusive?

Why can’t I have a wonderfully productive day, where I feel like I am swinging the world around by it’s long, fuzzy tail, AND have been attentive to my kids?
But, I am woman… and my mother! Hear me roar! I will not succumb! Back… back! Back from whence you came… you… you… you, maternal soul devouring monster, you!

I wash my hands… I steel myself…
All I know is that today’s been one helluva day. Where’s me durn kids?

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. -Charles Kettering

    • Say It!

      Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

      … when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

      Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

      As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
