Can You Do It All?

I often ask myself if I am doing a decent job of being a wife and mother and full-time working professional. My house is not as clean as I would like it to be. My meals are not as well-planned out as I think they should be. I also don't linger in the office after working hours as long as I did BC (before children). I wonder if I am being successful at any aspect of my life.

The reality is that my family is happy and well-nourished. My boss doesn't complain about my performance and my desk is mostly clear when I leave each day. I guess I'm managing, but sometimes I wonder how I could do it all better!
