I think that, as a christian, that is a huge part of our testimony, to share our struggles along with our victories. That is what makes us real and relatable. I am so sorry you are struggling, but know that you are not alone! Especially when Sally was younger, I considered it a productive day if everyone got fed and took naps and if I was able to get a shower and take a nap too. It was just survival mode! Don't beat yourself up for not getting to all the other things. I always had to tell myself, "You are doing the best job that anyone in your situation could do right now." I am sure you are doing a great job, and I am sure your children know that their mommy loves them.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516574389585294678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421004226123830512.post-50749654135096384442012-01-23T10:52:12.106-05:002012-01-23T10:52:12.106-05:00I don't usually comment, but I do love reading...I don't usually comment, but I do love reading your blog. I also have an almost-3-year-old girl and a newborn boy (3 weeks old today!) and I am feeling stretched. With the sleep deprivation some days I've also had to order myself to do simple things like get off the couch to make our lunch. You're not by yourself and I think it's great that you're sharing how you feeling.<br />I don't know how you are able to do it all. I'm an elementary school special ed teacher, and after I had my daughter I had a really hard time finding a balance between being a great mom and a great teacher and a great wife. I decided to take a leave of absence to be home with my kids and try to start a home daycare. I just knew that if I had that much trouble finding balance with just one child, how was I going to do it with two children.<br /><br />Anyways, just wanted to let you know you are in good company and I hope you start to find yourself and feel better soon. Keep on truckin' :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994852152076431958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421004226123830512.post-33716580714062288222012-01-23T06:50:51.939-05:002012-01-23T06:50:51.939-05:00I have gone through this every time after having m...I have gone through this every time after having my two kids. And yes it does get worse when you are tired. However I think that I never really got over it and still get so depressed when I am tired and have not accomplished much during the day. My kids are 21 and 16 and the teenage years are difficult too:(Loredanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289466546222201605noreply@blogger.com
