My hair is braided to the side every day but Sunday. (It only gets washed every once and a while.)
I wear absolutely no makeup unless it is Sunday (again) or going to a doctor.
I sometimes have a hard time remembering things such as getting food out of the freezer for supper or what we need from the grocery store.
These are just a few examples.
Now let me explain myself....
I signed up to earn a master's degree this year and started my first term at the end of June. I signed up for three classes so I can be finished by next May (yay me!). Normally you aren't allowed to take more than two at a time.
Since then I struggle to get the dishes washed and clothes washed and dried (much less folded). I have stayed up every night since then until at least 11:00 and quite a few nights have been 1:30-2:00.
I refuse to ask for help because that is who I am. I don't feel like I need help and don't really want it to be honest. I just want you to understand. Don't take pity. Just understand. Understand that while my house is messy I just can't do it all right now. I want my boys with me while we are out for summer so while they take a nap and when they go to bed I work on my school work. I try to check my email I'm the morning but sometimes that just has to wait too. I feel guilty even doing that while they are awake. I love having my boys with me! But please understand. Don't judge me right now. If you do come stop by and notice the overflowing sink, the toys EVERYHWERE or a messy haired mommy like myself just look over it please. That is how it is going to be for a little while. :)
