I know how you feel. There are times when the needs of the family are truly overwhelming. It's enough to get the best of anyone I think. I just figured out today (yeah maybe I'm a slow learner or just hard headed) but...I think most of the problems I have dealing with the kids and my responsibilities around home have to do with the fact that I'm not getting my own needs met. Just like this morning being Saturday I really had errands I should have run before noon like bank, recyclers, but honestly I'm not a morning person-so why do that if it's going to put me in a brow wrinkle for the rest of the day? I think you need to rest and take at easy. Let what you can go. I find my first day off after working a stretch I need to just relax for my emotional state of mind. Right now I have my kids doing chores for money. I don't know if your kids can do this or not yet but it keeps them occupied and gets a little done around the house. Mine are young enough they can't get big jobs done yet but even if they clean their toys up or help watch play with their baby brother-it's a help and it's good training to pitch in and help get things done. I'm sorry your having a rough day and maybe you could put in a movie and catch a little nap. I have been doing this myself lately and it does help get me through. It's amazing what 20-30 minutes sleep can do for you. Hugs!!! |
