Whining
I'm tired tired tired of my life. I'm tired of being at the beck and call of everyone. Everyone having things their way, despite what it does to me or to my schedule, my needs, my desires.
But then I think about other lives and I realize that I'm spoiled in general. I have more than enough food. My family is safe. My husband is a good man with a good job. I'm ashamed.

I know firsthand how easy it is to feel tired of living the life that we live. I know all too well about the demands put on wives and moms. Been there, done that, hate the t-shirt! ;o)
Just when I think I am ready to see rainbows through my grey skies, new thunderstorms roll in and shower me with more misery. I hear you!
I also know what it feels like to feel shame. But, we don't need to wallow in that well of self-pity and shame. So, pick yourself up and shake off the dirt. Tomorrow is a new day full of possibility and promise. It may not be all that you hope it will be, but it is your day-what you make of it.
Wow! Did I just say all that? I never feel that optimistic. ;o)
I hear ya! My twins are older now, so it's easier for me to see the bigger picture. At times :) Other times I get overwhelmed still. It's OK, you've obviously got a good heart and a good head on your shoulders.
I went to blogger-only comments when I turned off word verification (it wasn't working well at times, making it completely impossible for people to leave comments, and I LOVE comments) and started getting spam comments. I looked through my comments and the vast majority of them had blogger sign ons anyway, so I thought it might help.
It's okay to whine about being a mommy...I sure do and I still have friends.
Thanks for your slumber party suggestions. I've posted how it went.
I can relate. I was a homeschooling mom. I just re-entered the workforce, working with my husband. I also understand the forgiveness stuff too. I have several posts in the last month on that issue. I had a crappy step-father too.
You are enough. There is a reason it is you with this full plate.
