In my household, I am known as the one who wears the pants. Or sometimes even a dress. Regardless of what I am wearing (LOL), I am the gal who runs the show and keeps everyone on schedule.
Appointments? Check! Shopping? Oh yes. Errands? Mmm hmmm – that’s me too. I am constantly running around making sure this household runs like a well-oiled machine. Sure, if push came to shove, I think my family could make things work, but perhaps not as efficiently.
I would like to give up a few of my “jobs”, but it is easier said than done.
Read my post at Enough Time Moms! I’d love to hear your thoughts about letting go of some of your household responsibilities. Do you also wear the pants? What works for you as far as letting others “help”?

You and me both, baby. I’m in charge, or I’m outta here. 😉
Let’s just say we are all running nekked around our house, because NO ONE is wearing the pants lately. LOL We still have yet to get our big calendar we always hang on the fridge each JANUARY. We need a nanny, a pro organizer, a hired fixit person, a gardener, a cook, and a chauffeur. And that is just a few to mention. When mom goes to H, the whole house does. So take care of your health moms! When you get to a point where the schedule and finances is breaking you, sometimes you just HAVE to let it go. And realize that no one is gonna lose and eye or arm and the kids wont go hungry or die if they miss a practice. I learned to jump off the spinning ball when I got sick and realize I will never catch up. And that just has to be OK.
I know how lucky I am that my hubby and I share those things together, we both know what’s going on with the schedule and with the money. We talk about it together each week to make sure we know what is going on.
