The Balancing Act of Motherhood
Trying to balance my life can be a struggle, though sometimes the best things in life are worth the fight.

Restaurant and Maid Service in your own home
I am fed up with trying to cater to everyone's wants around here.  Not needs, that I could handle forever, but the wants of everyone around here is what is going to drive me nuts.  Do I look like I run a fucking restaurant in my own house?  Do I look like the maid?  Why the hell do I have to be the one to organize everything around here?  I am not talking about cleaning, others can do that, but organize.  My husband thinks cleaning the garage is just throwing everything up onto shelves and into boxes.  He doesn't care that things are put back into it's proper place.  My roommates leave their crap out there as well.  I know that I am not perfect about putting everything where it goes, but I am the only one it seems that does it at all.  Then I have to worry about what I, or my family eats, because one of my roommates has a serious food allergy.  I can't fault her for that, and I don't, but she also doesn't eat pork, beef, or fish.  She can't handle the texture of it.  My other roommate is the same way.  Since they are like family here, I try to please them.  I try to please my kids, my husband, my roommates, their friends that come over all the fucking time, and anyone else that decides to show up.  I am not the fucking maid, you want clean clothes, then do the fucking laundry!!  You want something other than what I want to cook for dinner, then make it after I make the meal for my family.  You want your dumbass friends to come over?  Then you are the ones to make them leave at a decent hour and not 2am.  I am so tired of everyone else' shit and not a single one of them realize I have my own shit to do!  I have school supplies that need to be bought, clothes for the kids too, and not to mention that I have my own shopping that needs to be done.  Does any of that get done?  No, cause I seem to be the only one to be able to cook anything in this house that is decent.  Not this fast food shit that my husband likes to make.  I am also the only one that wants the windows washed, frig cleaned, and things put where they belong, not just shoved in a fucking box.  I try to give, and give, and give, and all I get in return is their selfishness.  They take, and take, and take, and I for one am tired of it.  They all know how to clean, they should all know, by now, how to organize as well.  Yet I am still the one that does it all!  Fuck 'em then.  Lets see how fucked up this place can really get when I refuse to do anything for any one of them!
