My car looks almost as bad as the gal's on the show -- I'm looking for the organizers, esp. the ones for my toddler's snacks and toys, and the one for my business papers that can be flipped to the back of the passenger seat. Checked at cookiemag.com also, but can't seem to find them anywhere. Who knows the URL? Thank you! Trying to unclutter, one area at a time ...

Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of other women (and men) who can relate to your situation. I myself, can relate due to some relationship patterns I've stuck with... but that's a whole other story ;-) The feeling of 'not having enough time' has become a common theme in many people's lives today, especially in a society that pushes capitalism and consumption. The stressors we face day to day take from our sleep and from our free time. There is hope, however! This you must always keep in mind. SOME TIPS THAT HAVE HELPED ME: -Sleep should be a top priority... ALWAYS! -Self love and compassion should be as important as loving and showing compassion to others -Remove the junk from your life (clean out clutter in your house so you have less to manage) -Always have a tentative schedule, even if it changes, it will offer you a piece of mind -Exercise for improved mood (and to release frustration) -*&#* list continued*&(&... *Lastly, it is important to mention that relationships should involve giving and taking. One should also always be safe.

I just want to say that my story is so much different: I am 40, married to my husband for 20 years and I have 5 children (4 of them are under 10) ages, 19, 9, 4, 5, 2. All of them girls, the youngest a boy. I was recently laid off of my job of seven years. My husband works at night and I used to work during the day. It has been extremely difficult especially during the past three years to be a wife, mother and have a career. I feel like as soon as I come through the door, I have no time to think or unwind from the day, it's jumping right in to being the wife and mother. My husband is sleep as I walk through the door (he works midnight shift). I am up with the kids until 8:30-9:00 p.m. In between I have cooked dinner, gotten everyone's clothes ready for the next day, bathed them and combed their hair for the next day. Then I have to wake my husband up at 10 p.m. to get him ready for work. This leaves me an hour to prepare myself for the next morning. It's a cycle that leaves no time for me to take care of me. To make matters worse, my husband's days off are Tuesday/Wednesday. I'm off on the weekends. So, when I am supposed to relax, I can't. I am managing the children all day so that he can rest for work that evening. This is all just the tip of the iceburg but don't want to clog up your postings. I would just like to know if there is anyone else out there who feels so taken for granted and helpless as I do?

well wat can i say??? moms are d best they make out time 4 every thing
