How do they do it

As I sit nursing and pumping at 4:30 am, I wonder how single parents do it. I am lucky enough to have a great husband who helps out a lot and yet I still feel like I could use more hours in the day, both to enjoy Greta and to get everything on my to-do list done. Maybe my expectations of what I can get done are just too high. Maybe I need to except the fact I'm not superwoman (Although that would help a lot). Maybe a maid would help. Maybe a personal chef would be great. Maybe another assistant at work would ease my mind. Maybe a laundry fairy would help. Maybe riding a train to work would be awesome because I could work on the way and not deal with traffic - or a helicopter that'd be even better a short commute then.

As you can tell I'm still trying to figure out that balance. Definitely not there yet but trying. Each day brings new challenges. Each day brings new things I miss. Each day though is another one I'm alive with a healthy beautiful baby girl and a hard working loving husband so I guess life isn't that bad and I shouldn't complain.
