The daily-ness of being a SAHM does take you to the end of yourself. And it comes in waves at times. And then the guilt(?) if you're away for an hour to get a little fresh air. You have stamina and grit, you just need, hmm, something, perhaps sleep? This too shall pass... or as David said, "Weeping lasts the night (translated I think it says infancy and early toddlerhood), but joy will come in the morning!" I'm saying a quick prayer for you right now.

I feel like a total failure, but I am also looking forward to having some help with getting my three year old under some form of structure...because I couldn't cut it.Kassi Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616047995656823746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017244.post-1125729884371502012005-09-03T02:44:00.000-04:002005-09-03T02:44:00.000-04:00I understand completely.

It's great for the kids and the husband but I still sit on edge wondering what they're gonna tear up, when they're going to start screaming or how much of a mess they're gonna make (my kids, not my husband...at least most of the time;))<BR/><BR/>But I wouldn't know how to act if they weren't there. Yep, I guess I do love 'em:)sprinkle4https://www.blogger.com/profile/18430918566089917673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017244.post-1125691564630343232005-09-02T16:06:00.000-04:002005-09-02T16:06:00.000-04:00I do think I've dropped a couple pounds without su...I do think I've dropped a couple pounds without sugar, so I suppose there's a hidden good in the mix, if only it cheered me up. haha!~cjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435581940217387304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017244.post-1125690904938790442005-09-02T15:55:00.000-04:002005-09-02T15:55:00.000-04:00I went thru the same thing this week!

I mean, come on! <BR/><BR/>I have to go on a mission trip every year so I can leave my brat behind for a week (of course, I spend my entire trip thinking, talking, and weeping about him...).SlushTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945128310561411120noreply@blogger.com
