mummy can't take it anymore

I can't wait for next weekend.

It's not the party really- that is just a plus- some time to spend with friends and get to know them even better.

It's simply the me time I haven't had in ages.  Just thinking of going out from early morning and spending a whole day all by my self is dizzying! 

I've been nagging and complaining non stop and although I see it and disgust myself hearing me speak I can't stop it.  I am tired.  I haven't had any me time for a long time now since I had to stop yoga classes.  When I am alone like now as hubs took Greg for a walk with the hope he finally sleeps, I still can't really relax.  Maybe i simply am so exhausted or its hormones and pregnancy.  We've been havin sleeping issues which i can't seem to resolve and are getting me even more tired.....I just can't function anymore!

I know what to do to get back into balance but I don't have the energy to even start trying or thinking about it.  Also I know its a vicious cycle and when the mama is not into it everyone else in the family is effected.

So what is a mama feeling in burnout to do? pray and love and thank and wait for next week and trust that tomorrow will be better and if Greg can have a normal nap again and sleep till 6 am again instead of 4, I can start planning the balancing act.  Coz really who am I kidding, unless I do it and quick, things will get worse not better.

ahhh, sweet mama I hear your pain. I hope you had a great nights sleep and find some wonderful moments of awareness this coming week to carry you through to the weekend. You seem so self aware and this is a wonderful gift. Your family are so blessed to have you in their lives.

your friendly SITsah :)

It is so wonderful to hear that you're going to be getting some "me time". It's so important to staying healthy, motivated, and healthy for our families! Enjoy, Melissa!

Oh darling, I wish I knew how to fix the universal busy conundrum. I'm not even a mom and I'm busy all the time, which makes me feel like a whimp when I think of people like you who battle the whole deal.

If you find the the secret, do tell!
