morning already?

Nov 14, 2007 08:09

Another migraine last night. Yippee. It started after supper and by 10 o'clock I was ready to throw up, so I took some tylenol, swaddled Charlotte tight and took her to bed with me. She nursed to sleep but my head was still pounding, so much that it hurt to lay down and it took me another 45 minutes to convince myself to get up and take some ( Read more... )

Oh man. I feel for you so much. That was an absolutely great description.

I could say something cheerful but something tells me this is not the time for that so instead I wrap you in hugs.

But just remember that the ball is what makes the game exist!!!!!

Geesh! Dont be so hard on yourself!
That ball takes alot of strength to AND if you were the rock you'd be kicking yourself because your kids needs wouldn't be being met! (danged if you do/dont situation)
You are right though in that you obviously need to make YOU a priority as well. Any chance of finding a sitter for a couple hours a couple times a week?

It's a delicate balance, meeting the needs of my family without totally neglecting my own. Just when I think I have a good balance of both, my own needs get pushed aside and I start feeling used and drained by the people I love most. I just haven't had the energy to make that stand and reclaim time for myself.

I'm guitly of this one to... It was a constant fight even without a baby in the house. Now well, it feels like a loosing battle somedays.
I swore I would go back to karate when Alex was 6weeks'ish old.... he's 10 months and I've been there twice. :( My back hurts, old knee injuries are bothering me again, I feel BLAH but, the beasty needs his Mommy at bed time which just happens to be when karate starts. Grrrrr!

Yup, me too. I renewed my gym membership two months ago (?) and I've been there twice. And I won't even get started on how dusty my school books are :-(
