We’ll keep todays post short, because I am feeling somewhat exhausted. I’m not sure why it was as hard of a day as it was, but there were SO many tears, very few minutes of rest, and I felt very overwhelmed. It helped immensely to have my mom around. As I’ve said before, I try very hard NOT to load her up with parental jobs. I know my kids are mine, and I am capable of handling them, but it was a HUGE relief to have someone who the kids adore around to play with the ones that are cooperative. Not that she can’t handle when they scrap, but thats the moms domain, in my opinion. So we survived the day, and Brady came home and took the lead on the evening and bedtime with the littles, which was also an enormous help.
I have lots going on in my head and heart these days. I feel a bit overwhelmed, and I know some of that stems from whats to come in the next couple of days and weeks. That combined with my son who appears to be teething WAY harder than ever before, and all three of my somewhat overtired kids, I am not in the best shape I’ve been in.
Thank God for God.
