Going crazy!

Sometimes I get into the rhythm of trying to do too much!  When that happens, I slide into a pit of stress that doesn't want to let go, and guess who pays for it?  My poor family.  This has been one of those weeks when my kids are wondering who in the world this crazy woman is?  When will I come to the realization that I can sit and enjoy my family without having to get up 1,000 times to wash clothes, clean house, put away things, wash dishes, get the mail, pay bills, start a project, etc...  Poor Marlee has been on my hip for almost 4 solid months.  This week she has a cold and is cutting molars.  She doesn't feel well, and I'm bitter because of it.  You know what that tells me?  I'm doing too much and don't have enough left in the tank for my children.  That's pathetic.  I sure wish I knew why Mom's felt like they had to be Superwoman.  Thankfully, I have some sweet moms who have traveled this road ahead of me to say that I'm not going crazy and it's ok to take some time for myself.  So, I'm going to prop my feet up and watch a movie.  Maybe I won't be crazy tomorrow!
