I am having such a hard time. Life with two kids is full of ups and downs, but right now it feels like a heck of a lot more downs than ups. That's part of why I haven't been writing a lot in this blog. I just feel so down about things and it's not something I want to remember in the long run, or share unnecessarily. Anyone with kids in a similar situation can understand... or maybe it's just me. Whatever. In the end, I often just feel like curling up in a ball at the end of the day and shutting down with a book or browsing online. I don't want to think or plan or work for tomorrow. It's all I can do to get through today.
I also feel terrible about my lack of patience with the kids. Even little J. doesn't get off scott-free. I'm just so short of everything - brains, time, patience, creativity... (that list goes on obviously).
Sorry to be such a drag today. Sometimes tomorrow is better. I hope.
I love your blog! I was just reading through some of your posts. :) My kids are grown, but I can remember days like the one you've described here in "the downs". I think every Mom has these, at least once in awhile. Your honesty and transparency is refreshing. After meeting you and your family last weekend, I just want to say, (not that my opinion matters of course) that I think you and your husband are doing a great job so far...your kids are so precious and well-behaved.
