Description

The story of my life with my wonderful hubby and four great daughters!

Feeling less stressed today.

Well, I talked/cried to hubby last night. After writing that blog and praying, I realized that I just need to take time for myself, time for me and hubby to spend time together.

Homeschooling really has nothing to do with my problem other than my kids being home all the time. I am not frustrated with homeschooling, that is going great. I am frustrated with going 24/7 with no break and no time to call my own.

Homeschooling is what the Lord has called our family to do. So we need to learn to work with it and figure out how it will work healthily for our family and for my sanity! LOL

Anyway, I am feeling much better today. I have a headache from crying so much last night! LOL

I have to say that I am so thankful for my family and I would not want my life to be any other way than how it is. I am praying for the Lord to help us work this out and start taking more time for ourselves as a couple. As well as allowing me time to myself to rejuvenate.

I don't know that anyone will ever read these blogs, but it sure helps to get it out!

I understand completely

I know exactly how you feel. I don't get a break either, at least not very often. My husband is gone for months at a time and since we're overseas, I don't get any family support.
I noticed last year, that I spent a ton of time in front of the computer-emailing and yahoo groups. I am stopping all of that. My problem is that I'm focusing very little on my kids-in fact, not getting much schooling done most days. I'm only going to get on the computer in the evenings now and I've quit all my yahoo groups. I'm hoping that will help me stick to my homeschooling plan and be more successful with it. My other issue is that if housework or organizing needs to be done, it drives me crazy until I get it done. However, I realized that most of the reason it wasn't getting done is because I'm sitting in front of the computer, not doing my chores, or making my kiddos do theirs. Then I felt cheated that I was spending "my time" doing housework in the evenings or early mornings.
I am slowly coming to grips with my own errors and trying to correct them.
Sorry to ramble on, just wanted to let you know that we all feel that way. Its completely understandable. Mom needs to recharge her batteries too and we all need to find a way to do that. Good luck to you!
