I don't know, I think you have to prioritize things and sort of redefine what it means to be a "good mom". It's sometimes easy to get caught up in all the "shoulds" of life...I should scrub this floor and I should cook more often and I should organize these closets and on and on. When you've got kids, especially toddlers, you just sort of have to let some of the other stuff go or else you're just going to exhaust yourself. And for what? I mean really, how important in the big scheme of things is an organized closet and a scrubbed clean floor?
You're a good mom because you care...you're a good mom because you want a good life for your kids. I say you should take a nap when the little ones take a nap and then order pizza for dinner that night and just play Candyland.
better time management and organization, i think, are key to running a sucessful household.
