Why are YOU so tired?!

Your Momma never told you that you will have to be a wife, a mother, a cook, a cleaner, a houskeeper, a decorator, and have a career...so hire help.

I am an avid people watcher. I love to go the mall...shop of course...sit down for lunch...and people watch. The last time I was people watching, I noticed a woman and her husband walking with three children. The woman, poor thing, looked absolutely exhausted. Her hair was graying on the edges and pulled back into a sloppy ponytail...her clothes were not ironed and worn, she looked like she had not had a good night's sleep in years....she just looked unhealthy...her kids and husband however...appeared to not have a care in the world. Her kids were well dressed, had fresh haircuts and were laughing up a storm at the jokes her husband was telling...but you know who was not laughing...HER.

My point ladies...don't let life pull you into a fit of exhaustion. Your children are expecting you to be here for their wedding and the birth of their children. How can you do that if you are already wearing yourself out? You may be in a situation were you have children that may not leave the house for another 15 years. You need to save your energy and take care of yourself. So what do you...accept you can't do it all or truth be told...you just don't want to... and hire help.

Hire a housekeeper. At a minimum once a month to help with the upkeep of your home. You may think you can not afford it but do the research. You can hire help for the cost of one Coach bag....and ladies..I know you have a Coach bag.

Hire a personal chef. This is a real treat. Hire someone to prepare meals for you. It does not have to be every week but you need a break throughout the year. Hire someone to help with a cookout or dinner party. Hire someone to prepare a week's meal...and let the cook...you...go on vacation.

Hire carpet cleaners. I get my carpets done on a regular basis because I just like carpets to look fresh. Someone suggested I go to home depot and get one of the rental carpet cleaners. I said for what...so I can break my back carrying that thing up flights of stairs...spash water all over the place, make a mess, and break a nail. I don't think so...leave it to the professionals.

Hire someone to cut the lawn. Ladies...this is quality time that you could be spending doing something you love...or with someone you love...your man. If you have been doing this on your own. STOP. If you have a man who has been doing it...remember men are selfish...if you hire help for you...he will want you to hire help for him. If you hire help...you will both be satisfied.

Take your clothes to be laundered. News flash ladies...everything that goes to the laundry does not have to say DRY CLEAN ONLY. Send what you want to get cleaned. Save time washing and hanging and ironing your dresses or his pants. Send them all to the cleaners and take a nap.
