Do you ever just feel weighed down?

I mean, there is nothing MAJOR going on just the normal stresses of life but they feel so heavy? I'm feeling it right now. Between laundry, housework, kids, appointments, activities, meetings, bills...I just feel so weighed down. I have an appointment with Ian's psychologist this afternoon. I know one of the things she's going to ask me is what I've done for myself. She already told me date nights don't count so I'm not sure what I'm going to tell her. What have I done for myself? Sometimes, and I tried very hard to explain this to her, taking time for myself is more stressful than not taking time for myself. Know what I mean? Besides, I am just feeling this way today...tomorrow will be better! It doesn't help that Adam is out of town which means no sleep and no help and this is an unusually busy week. That's how it is for all of us though right? There is always something. Good news: Mid terms came in the mail today and Matthais has all A's. Shouldn't be a surprise but I am proud of him. Junior High is a lot different and he's really trying hard to stay on top of things. I hope he is developing great study habits that carry on into high school and beyond. Ya Matthais!

I went through something like this about a year ago. Somehow the feeling just passed and life went on to normal. I hope you feel better soon.

Constantly is what I thought when I read the title of this blog. Hope it gets better for you soon!

I think that a lot. I also wonder if life will ever slow down. My guess is probably not. Kind of like when friends who have only young kids tell me they can't wait until they grow up and they're not as busy. I don't even have the heart to tell them that it only gets worse. And just so you know... I think you have extraordinary circumstances. Especially with Adam out of town. That help that comes at the end of the day is so nice. Hope you survive! Love ya!
