Tired??

Do you ever just get tired? Ya, I know you do, we're parents and adults right?

But what I'm talking about is tired of not measuring up? Tired of skipping out on your laundry to take your kids somewehre fun only to find out that you have no clean underwear for tomorrow. Tired of trying to make your family your priority only to find out that your friends are mad that you haven't spent enough time with them. Tired of feeling like crap for the last 8 months-non-stop!!!!!!!!! Tired of having to explain to everyone on the planet that yes, you really are doing your best at life. Tired of having your kids rag on you because they are hungry and the pizza hasn't finished cooking. Tired of not having enough hours in the day to get everything done. Tired of not having the energy to do everything on your to do list. Tired of no matter how hard you try, you just can't make everyone happy.

I'm quite TIRED tonight!!!! Excuse my whining, I'll hopefully be happier tomorrow!

I'm sorry Candice! If it's any consolation, I think you are doing a fabulous job! You can't make everyone happy - ever! The only way to be happy is to just do what makes you happy, try your best & everyone else can go jump in a lake. Being a mom is the hardest job on earth. I often find myself singing, "this is the job that never ends...it just goes on & on my friend...." Everytime I think I have everything done & I can relax or do something for myself, someone wants something. We moms have to stick together & be eachother's chearleeders. Hang in there & know that I think you are a great mom & doing a wonderful job!!!!!
