One of those days...or period of time

So, for the past couple of weeks I have not been motivated to do anything. I don't know what my deal is. I am at a standstill right now. It's not good. I feel a little overwhelmed, but I have nothing to be overwhelmed over. Really, I don't. I also just feel so exhausted and I do nothing to make me feel that way. So, I don't know what my problem is. The other problem is, I want to get back into things and get motivated again, but at the same time I don't want to. It's really hard to make that first step in getting into the groove of things again. If I could, I would probably stay home all day everyday doing nothing but taking care of Audrey. Okay, maybe 6 days, I am sure I would go a little stir crazy staying home everyday of the week. So anyway, I had a Relief Society meeting tonight and was looking at my president and realized that I admire all that she does. Seriously, she has three young kids, a husband, a huge calling that she takes on a lot of and takes a lot of her time, not only that, but she is still willing to help others. She will find time to help those in need and it is amazing. For real though, if only you all knew how much she did. So, anyways, if you find that I am finding excuses to not go anywhere, this is why. I just want to take the easy way out do nothing but take care of Audrey. But I know that isn't logical, so I will deal with it :) Because, really, there are a lot of people out there who work really really really hard, and they still deal with it.

It's ok to feel the way you do sometimes. Being a mother is hard work! And I am sure you do a lot more than you think you do! As Charlotte would say "chin up"! hang in there things will get better. Plus it is always easy to feel that way when it is cold and yucky outside.... who wants to go out in that!; December 10, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Slater Blog said...: I feel that way all the time. It might just be the weather, or it could be that....you are pregnant!! Are you? Just kidding.

Seriously though, you have a lot of energy, you will find it again soon.; December 10, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Rhonda said...: I understand completely!! Just take the time for yourself and your family. No one will be angry with you for that. Enjoy your little girl while she's still little... Enjoy YOURSELF. Don't feel guilty for doing the things you want to do... Or for not doing other things. Make your decisions and have no regrets. :); December 11, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Debbie Murdock said...: I'm sooo behind in posts...Alison is pretty amazing and she does a lot more than what she lets on. I understand how you feel though...it took me years to find my groove as a stay at home mom after being important for so many years in business settings. At work you get praise more often and at home...well you don't get it enough. But you can't feel bad about wanting the best for your daughter.; January 16, 2009 at 9:52 AM

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
