do you ever feel

as if no one can hear you? That is the small place I am right now. I did talk to God, and feel He has never left, but as a mommy, I feel almost a desperation. I ask the kids to do something, it could be something fun, and they just sit there. I change my tone to a more upbeat 'don't you want to do this' and still nothing. Then comes the NOW. From picking up toys, to playing games, to eating lunch, to getting on coats, to getting in the car, to walking across a parking lot! I mean, it is only 1:15 and I'm pooped. I know it is the day, and in an hour things could be different after nap time. We are to go to the movies today, and even with that dangling above them...selective hearing. I try to not be a downer on the blog, but just felt like sharing today.

Those kind of days just plain SUCK. I am sorry that you are going through that right now. I know that things can changes from hour to hour but some days are just harder than others. Days like that you question everything you are doing as a mother and as an example on how to live. Just remember that God is there to take over and take care of us. You are doing a great job. One day at a time.

Girl, somedays I feel as if a bullhorn would not help the selective hearing epidemic in my house. Try whispering some things...almost as if you are talking to yourself. Sometimes that perks up little ears.

Hope you feel restored after naptime and have a great time at the movies.

Oh my goodness! That does NOT make you a downer. I blog for therapy. Let it out girl!

That has SO been our issue with Hadley recently. Must be the age or the weather or something but it's absolutely driving me crazy. We decided to buckle down and really work on that because to not be acknowledged when my whole day revolves around the trouble makers in my house drives me nuts especially now that you're exhausted and realizing that you're going to be outnumbered soon. Yikes! I mean really look around your table at dinner tonight and take a good look soon there will be three of them. I'm scared. :)

And then there were three. Sounds like you had super powers today and were invisible. Hmmm. . . now that can't be all bad. Seriously, days like that come and go and all moms are glad when they go! Hope the nap improved everyone's mood.

New Year's sounded like a rockin' good time at your house.

Love you!

After reading the other comments it sounds like we aren't the only ones with days like this. Sometimes I'm ready for nap at 9 AM!!!!!!!! God's blessings are new EVERY morning. Don't give up, this too shall pass!!!! You're a great little mommy and you have wonderful kids........they are kids though! Have a great day, hope you are feeling good, wish we could get together sometime, love to see you!

I just wrote a similar blog last night... just about being frustrated. I suppose we all have our days, right? Hang in there... and know you are totally not alone!
