It's Been a While

I haven't had a post like this in a while and it's due time. It is just one of those days where I can't manage to get my head above water. I go from mess to mess, sick kid to sick kid, making injuries better, solving toy fights and disappearances, trying to unpack from the long weekend at the lake, debating whether to bring the kids to he doctor, medicating kids, taking temperatures, wiping noses, laundry, cleaning, feeding kids this and that trying to avoid the food store with all three of them, more laundry, more messes sometimes involving pee, and the house is still looks like a bomb went off in here and  you can bet I am not even going to try and cook dinner. It's pizza for sure tonight. And now that I have snuck away and I am getting a second to myself to type this and I don't hear any crying or anyone even looking for me, I feel guilty that I was complaining. I really do know I am blessed and I am so grateful for my three beautiful, healthy, sweet, children. Sometimes it all just feels overwhelming. I then feel guilty for feeling that way. So this was my little outlet and now I have got my head back together. Even if it is only lasts for an hour or two. Days like this go hour by hour and I just try and hold on. Hope you're holding on too.

do NOT feel guilty. We all get overwhelmed. I love my kids too, but there are days when I wish I could put them in their rooms, shut the door, and walk away for an hour or so. It never happens, but that doesn't mean I don't wish it would! Good luck with it all, and I'm glad you got even a small minute to yourself!

Yes! ...You know your not alone! Sorry it's been crazy lately. I'll let you know when I figure out how to avoid the inevitable chaotic break down of all things within our control...

I hear ya, I hear ya. You know I get it! The one thing I always try to tell myself is that I'll have so many YEARS with no small children at home. This is such a short time. That perspective helps me in two ways. 1) To remember to cherish each moment as much as I can and 2) It gives me strength to endure the hard times knowing at some point, things will be different.
