Is there such a thing to be burnt out of all the mommy duties with ONE child? I knew having a baby would be rough, but did I know it would be THIS rough? Nope. My sisters, friends, and gals at church sure fooled me by the way they made it look! I feel like I am always running around trying to catch up on my catching up! I felt like I could do it, but soon ran out of fuel mentally, emotionally, and physically I burnt out. The way I “burn out” is crying to Kevin. Kevin can always tell when I need more sleep because I get emotional and cry a lot. Lack a sleep sure does mess up your body and outlook on life. I had no idea!
A while ago I stumbled across this article that made me nod my head so hard and fast I couldn’t believe someone validated what I felt! I hope you take the time to read it, it will make you feel better about wherever you are in your life.
I feel like this women’s perspective is very accurate. No matter how many children we have, we are stretched to our limits. I also would like to add even if we don’t have any children, and it appears we have a “stress-free” life, we are stretched to our capacity. Helps me to stop my “judging” thoughts when I observe how other’s live their lives.
Here are some pictures of my house when I decided to finally bake a loaf of banana bread I was so desperately craving. Mind you, my house was pretty decent before I started the loaves. I finally told Corbin “mommy needs “me” time, so I am making banana bread and I don’t care how many toys it takes for you to let me do it.”
Here is my banana bread house! And yes, I burnt my loaves. The middle tasted wonderful!
