the mood is shifting

It's amazing what a little time and a few kind words can do for one's perspective. I'm not sure how to explain my funk, but at least I'm to a point today that I know we'll all survive. I told Denten last night that I felt like I'd lost my mojo. I don't really even know what mojo is, but mine is gone along with any semblance of motivation, organization or sanity. While exhuastion is still the frontrunner, there is a little peace creeping in. Wouldn't it be terrific to have two entire days without any children or outside responsibilities? One to accomplish all I'd like to around here and the next one to relax and recouperate. Anyway, enough dreaming. As emily kindly reminded me... when you get to the end of your rope.. tie a knot and hang on!

I've tied more than one today!

Oh, and thanks for the chat. It feels a lot better to know I'm not alone.

You are one strong woman, and it is good to know that you are also Human!!!

Thank goodness for movies to put on for toddlers, for naptimes during the day and for good weather to send them outside...with popsicles even...

Take a break from going out, even getting dressed or fixing a "healty" meal if that is too stressful. Your kids will survive on cereal alone and movies all day!

I hope you can find some relief soon

Keep us posted

Hi Amberly, just wanted to say that I appreciate your candor. Your blog is inspiration to the less organized, patient and positive among us. You are such a good mom, wife, support, etc. I hope that things keep looking up. I don't know how to take the cliche out of it, but know you're not alone.

I'm glad things are looking up. When I would have a day like this, my good friend Ashley Krause, in her solemnest of voices, would say, "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."

You can do this! When I feel stressed, it always helps me to turn the AC up.

I hope your doing better. Take twenty minutes and listen to this. You don't have to watch, just listen.

I listened to it the other day and I felt so loved and understood. I hope it helps.
