Total Exhaustion April 23, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Depression, Nance , trackbackI am exhausted. Totally and completely. The weekend was good. Today was good, but I am so effen tired of the mommy game. You know the one, the one where one child decides to get on your lap because you decided to sit down? Or you want to collapse on the floor sobbing from the stress of two kids needing you every fricken minute of the day, but when you lay down, they are BOTH on top of you? Or that your husband tries to be helpful by giving you the day’s news in the 10 minutes that you are trying to cook dinner (which you suck at and only do on Mondays) and bake two dinner rolls that the girls made?
The day was good. Saturday was good, Sunday was good, but right now I need less of sharing myself for every fricken person around me…
Sigh… and I wonder why I want to hide?

Ahh - this sucks. Kids are so totally all consuming. Amazing. And there’s no break - when they sleep you get to do house work and other stuff you didn’t get to while they were awake…
I’m so sorry - and don’t really have any good advice… just empathy and understanding for how you feel.
Ah yes. When I want a minute of peace to knit or read a newspaper article I have to do it standing up. Sometimes I get so envious of DH, who can sit on a sofa without being immediately mobbed, that I want to just throw something at him while he sits there. The second I sit down anywhere I have one, and often two, little people climbing all over me until I want to scream!
