And just when you think you've got it figured out, something changes it up. <br />I think as long as your kids are happy, healthy, and thriving, you're doing your job! <br />I do make sure I set aside a block of time for my husband every night. I've made the mistake of "neglecting" him before, and it wasn't pretty!<br />I figure, one day in the not too distant future, I will have PLENTY of time to do everything I want, so I give my family my all right now!Lexie Loo, Lily, Liam & Dylan Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236045431105674872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-38465347222192460492013-07-09T18:52:35.919-04:002013-07-09T18:52:35.919-04:00I love this post.

I love them, but unfortunately I'm terrible about making time for a phone call. I still haven't gotten much better about calls, but I try to send a couple letters (err.. quick rushed cards) each month. Which I tell myself is even nicer. But lets be honest... granny wants a call. Not a card ;) I'm trying!Julianne @ Bogs and Bowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255219911627635254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-68745113671598717092013-07-09T17:57:02.414-04:002013-07-09T17:57:02.414-04:00Great post!

As a working mom, I often wonder after a 10 hr day at the office, what type of mom am I and I hate being the short snappy one when everyone else has gotten the nice me all day. That is why I love 3 day weekends! Three days that I'm just MOM! :)Lucky in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222546985141422854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-20624954522086000692013-07-08T07:49:17.280-04:002013-07-08T07:49:17.280-04:00I am a first time mom and in many ways still a new...I am a first time mom and in many ways still a newly wed (coming up on our 2nd anniversary!) so I struggle with this internal battle on almost a daily basis. I don't know if I'm doing everything right as a mom OR a wife... but I do know that I am loving them both with my whole heart, and in that I can feel successful. Thanks for reminding me of that!<br /><br />AshleySweet Tea In Sicilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850456450714708873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-63457351933393940632013-07-08T07:34:35.048-04:002013-07-08T07:34:35.048-04:00Well said, well said.

I feel like the job and the baby come before the husband. I should remind myself more frequently to reserve some of my best for him.

My husband has been out of state for work for the last two months & being my best seems hidden away because I'm in survival mode with three kids & summer time fun looming over our heads. It's much easier to be your best when you've got a partner to help I've realized! Thanks for the gentle reminder that I at least give them my best love because I know that part is true, twinkietotmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153192477171698942noreply@blogger.com
