That's what I feel like I need today. (I apoligize in advance for rambling.) My kids aren't being bad...I just want to get away! My head is really spinning. Maybe it was the cookies I ate?
So, I'm trying to figure out why I'm in this overwhelmed state of mind or general funk. I have a decent amount on my plate, but much of it has been taken care of or gone by the wayside. I've had the chance to "talk it out" with several people today, and I think I might have it figured out. I believe I had an early term miscarriage in late December. Could it be that my hormones are really out of whack? All I know is that I need to improve. I had post-partum depression after Jenna's birth, and I'm wanting to get off my meds now. It will take several months to get off, and I feel like I've been on them long enough. (I can't take my mom's advice and wait for certain things to get better, because we've had some of the same problems for a year now, and I'm not confident that they're going away anytime soon.) Anyway...I'm sure I'll get through all of this soon enough. Okay, enough of the rambling, I think I should lay my spinning head down.

hey sorry to hear that you are stressed out. if you ever need a break you can bring your girls over and i can watch them for a little bit:) i hate those days too.
Sounds like time for a siesta to me. Have you read the Feb Ensign? They have a great article on finding balance. Check it out!
I'm having one of those days right now as well so you're not alone! Motherhood is hard and some days are just hard. Sometimes I feel like they are just hard for no apparent reason. I hope you'll be able to find some time off!
Hey, I wish I was there. I'd take you out for a girls night, and we'd party...watch chick flicks, and eat tons of yummy food, and talk just like we used to. I'm all in for a time out too.
I'm sorry you think you had a miscarriage too.
That sounds like lots of reasons to be having a rough time. I sure hope that things smooth out for you. I've been going insane lately--guess it's just a mom thing!
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so overwhelmed...I've been feeling that too lately. Sometime I think that you just need some "girl" time. Maybe Randy can watch the girls and you could go for a mani/pedi day with some girlfriends?!?!?!?
There must be something in the air. Yesterday I didn't get out of bed until 10. and then I crawled back in around 4 pm just to get away from everything. I am a strong believer in the whacked out hormones and the daily stresses of life. Just remember you can't be all that you need to be for everyone and everything else until you have taken care of you. Go out and have a break. It is good to forget for an hour or two and when you get home you will be ready to meet the challenges. Love ya,

Sorry to hear about all of the stress! And things will get better! You can talk to me if you ever need someone! Feel free to send Sydney over anytime if you need a break! Speaking of breaks did Randy break his hand then or do you know?
You should come scrapbooking on Friday at KMA it's from 6 - midnight. I'll probably go at 8 after we set up for the yard sale. It's only $5 and you can use all of their stuff.
You know, I had very severe PPD with both of my girls. I'm actually still on medication for it (although this year will be the year of the SLOW wean -- and by slow, I mean it might take the whole year to slowly come off). In my road to recovery, the BEST thing for me was to do something called cognitive therapy. It's actually been proven to be more effective than taking meds. If you have any more questions, just email me and we can talk!
