I love my life but crying helps. It helps me get all of the crap out of my system. It helps me release the weight of constant go go go. I get 10 minutes to just be. Alone. In a Luke warm shower. Sometimes I don't cry sometimes I just stand in silence. ...

Take the time to rest. To calm down. To stop being so anxious and stressed. Stop trying to control every situation. LET the laundry pile up. The more we try to control EVERYTHING the more stressed out we are going to be and the more doubt we are going to have about ourselves.

My spouse and I haven't had a break from our kids in years. It doesn't give us the time to "refresh", and we're constantly overwhelmed. Family offers to watch one at a time once every six months. They don't get that we need a night without either, and it makes me feel guilty wanting that.
i don't know what is wrong with me but i constantly feel rejected by the people who i thought loved me.
Today I took the kids to the park, wrote birthday invitations, washed their bedding, cleaned their closet, we did a craft and read books together. It was more than I usually get done in a day and I felt like a "good mom" but what makes us "good moms"? Some days feel more successful than others.
