just quit cleaning up the toys. It'll take out about one third of the work. ;)
the liturgy of a mom...
well said:)
I so hear you. I like the idea of thinking of it like your commenter who called it the "liturgy of a mom". Makes it seem somehow less depressing and hard. But I do know what you mean. I try not to think about the total lack of adult conversation and all that being a mama to a toddler entails. My only way to survive (and try to thrive) is to do this one day at a time, and sometimes it's only a moment at a time. I start out most days opening my eyes and beseeching Jesus for help when I realize that my first thought for the day is usually "how soon is naptime?"
