Hi!
Just found and LOVE your blog and would like to be a sponsor. I am one of the owners of adultsextoys.com and the best address is vnm@zimbra.01.com. Please let me know if that is possible and thank you for the quote below. It made me lol and I had to repost u on my facebook page!

"I’m opinionated and honest, to the death of relationships, if need be. Half of the people that know me think I’m really, really nice; the other half is convinced that I’m a brazen bitch. They’re both right at least 50% of the time."

I have always been a clean evironment freak too… then I married Vic… who is my nemesis…
most of the time she wins and so the mess stays now…

I think we could all benefit from learning to let go of more…

I have been sitting here trying to express how this post has touched me in ways that would really MEAN something – but all I can think of are the trite, tried and true stuff that everyone, including me, has thrown your way time and time again.

Yes, you are amazing and strong. Yes, you are, at times, fragile and needy. And yes, you recover from 'fragile and needy' better than anybody I know.

But, as more and more of your childhood comes to the fore, as you relate more of what you went through as a child, your story becomes a textbook on “What Not To Do To Your Child”. And I gotta tell ya – your father pisses me off.

Thanks. This gives me some good insight into the idea that I need to find the grand master schedule… somehow. Like the other Susan says, I also wish my own neuroses led me to cleaning, but unfortunately I just get overwhelmed a little more often than I'd like to admit. But that's okay because I have actually taken on a ridiculous amount of responsibilities so I'll just try to be kind to myself (and keep fighting against the clutter that hides stuff I want to find…)

I've been searching for that elusive tool to help me organize my life and haven't been successful either. I've tried countless calendars, programs, and to-do lists. So far the only thing that has worked is letting go of the need to get everything done and just taking that extra time with my sons. Like you said, our kids deserve so much more than time slots in our busy days. It's just so hard to find balance sometimes. Those kisses do make up for it.

Medicine. I like that. GL on letting go of some of the need-to-organize.

Beautiful post. And yes, our lives as mothers can be brutally difficult but ultimately the most amazing medicine ever.

(And I do wish that my neurotic behaviour included cleaning as I am oppressed by mess and incapable of keeping a clean home.)
