My tw...I'm sorry that you are feeling so down. My two cents is to identify the ONE single most pressing chore that needs to be done each day and just focus on that. Set yourself up for success! Pick one goal and meet it!!! Don't set yourself up for failure each morning by trying to do it all. If your kids are all safe, healthy, (relatively) clean, and happy then you accomplished a lot right there!!! The one chore is a bonus. And if you must up the energy for anything else then you earned extra credit points. =)Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109282759389594254.post-6024368046902873582013-07-24T02:16:03.456-06:002013-07-24T02:16:03.456-06:00BTW, I feel like I have to just say this.

I have a nanny and an au pair who look after my kids and my house during the day while I am at work and in just the few hours in the evening that I am in charge I am worn out. I see going to work as my break, so I have so much respect for you and how you cope.Juanita Dorringtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109282759389594254.post-31277653644339344082013-07-24T02:13:55.207-06:002013-07-24T02:13:55.207-06:00Oh Honey, I have absolutely no idea at all how you...Oh Honey, I have absolutely no idea at all how you do it? I cannot imagine trying to cope with four kids that are so young. And toddlers are a total handful and babies need so much attention and care and to cope with all of that by yourself with no help at all with either the kids or the house, you are a rock star!<br />DO NOT worry about the house. I also wouldn't worry about those other woman talking about you because you are different, they will be too busy talking about your amazing kids and how you are such a supermom to be able to cope at all with FOUR kids.<br />I can imagine some days are just too hard and while it sounds like your hubby is trying to help he cannot possibly understand just how much work you actually do in a day and just how exhausting it all is.<br />Give yourself a break during one of those nap times that coincide, make yourself a coffee (or hot chocolate or glass of wine - or whatever is going to be the best treat for you), put your feet up and reflect on what an amazing job you ARE doing and try to ignore the stuff that there are not enough hours in the day for.<br />Sending you a BIG hug and lots of strength to keep goingJuanita Dorringtonnoreply@blogger.com
