Where is the domestic goddess hiding?

Lately, I have been feeling a bit off - Not ill or sick, more of like a mental off. I feel grumpy, worn out and lazy. I feel like I give 110% of myself to work and my clients and when I get home, I have nothing left to give the two people who are the most important in my life. Why is that I am able to be all smiles and happy at work - and at home I am short fused, quick tempered and easily irritable? When did the people outside of my home start to get the best of me? And how can I save the best of me for the people that matter the most.

I am really feeling like I am not able to prioritize and it is really getting tough on me. As I sit here, in my self induced pity party I wonder how some women do it?? I just kind of feel like a failure at everything domestic! How can I learn to manage every aspect of my life and keep my sanity doing it?

The domestic goddess in me has temporarily gone MIA...

So back to one of my favorite mantras -

God Grant me the serenity to accept the thinks I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can and
The wisdon to know the difference.
