I'm feeling very good, aside from no sleep because the kids are still asleep. However, I have truly realized how much I hate being a stay at home mom. I am really starting to resent my husband because he gets to leave the house every day. I needed to get milk yesterday. I had to give the baby a bottle, find the other 2 girls shoes, get them dressed, put baby in carseat, go out to car, strap all kids in seats, warmup car, drive to store (20 minutes away), wrestle the kids out of the car, go into store, find a cart, put baby in, force the 2yr old into the seat because she likes to run off, work my way to the dairy section, grab a gallon of milk, stand in line, take cart to car, strap kids in, return cart to cart return, drive home, take kids in house and then go about the crappy day of a stay at home mom.

Sorry, just needed to vent as it is 0800 and dh isn't due home for another hour and then gets to leave again this afternoon.

Hey Maggie,
That is why we are here, Vent away.

Your doing great!! Keep up the good work.

I have 2 kids of my own, both school age but when I was in W/D's and had to get them to school it was torture just to get my butt moving let alone 2 kids that didn't want to get up and go to school either. I would just as soon sleep myself (If I could) at that time.

I am feeling much better and you will also very soon. Day 3 to 4 was the worst for me so think of it as you on the way down from the crummy feelings right now. It is only going to get better from here on out.

You take care.

As Always,
Peace.

Maggie baby ---TAKE A DEEP BREATH. You are going to be fine. Dont forget the REASON why you are doing this. It has to do with those kids and your family. 1 week ago was a WHOLE different world for me. I was right were you are now. TRUST ME you can do this whether its day by day, hour by hour or as it seems right now, minute by minute. You need at least a few moments today to yourself. Let your husband know that. A hot bath, hot shower, even a bit of exercise will do you a WHOLE bit of good. hang in there. Just remember that we are here for you. We know better than ANYONE what you are going through. Think of the finish line, not what got you into the race.
