As a mother/homemaker, I am usually beating myself up. Why is this so? I do not understand. I could spend the whole day doing laundry, dishes, changing diapers, going grocery shopping, putting the food away, throwing away a moldy something or other, vacuuming, cleaning up under the highchair 3-4 times, cooking dinner, lighting a Pumpkin Spice candle etc. etc. But if the next morning I realize that every pair of pants that the boys' own are in the washer because I forgot to put them in the dryer (and it's 35 degrees out), then all that other stuff cancels out. Like I didn't do any of it. And then in my mind I am a horrible horrible mother. Does anyone else find themselves in this self-defeating cycle? The struggle for perfection can be very exhausting.
