Sounds like you are going through a tough s...Uh oh. Sounds like you are going through a tough spell. <br /><br />It is hard to be the mom, especially when you still have a little one home. And the cold, gloomy weather doesn't help either. Hang in there. Maybe you can work out a play date with a friend for The Diva and you might have an hour or two to yourself. I did that when Em was small and me and the other mom worked it out. It was good for Em and good for me to have some time away from each other.<br /><br />As for the men in your life--I don't know what to say, but to tell you that I understand. It isn't all butterflies and rainbows is it?? My extended family sucks, but I learned to move past them and find other places to put my energy. (You notice I never write about my mom or brother) We all have idiots in our lives, we have to move past them.<br /><br />Know that I am thinking of you and I hope you are doing better today. Demand some free time for yourself or a date with your husband. You have to yell and scream sometimes for them to understand that you need more from them, so DEMAND it. <br /><br />Hugs, pally. Know that I'm here for you. Call me on my cell if you want to chat. We've all been there, my friend. It ain't easy being the mom. Pretty much, the job sucks most of the time.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848298869710906469.post-42367032047730137802010-01-30T13:44:41.036-06:002010-01-30T13:44:41.036-06:00Jo, you touched me with your comment yesterday and...Jo, you touched me with your comment yesterday and I had no idea you and I were kind of dealing with the same type of thing. I appreciate you sharing that with me. I hope that your situation works out in the way that will lead to your happiness.<br /><br />Posting yesterday was kind of my first step in acceptance and I know what the end result is, and now it's time to just start dealing with it and moving forward. I'm finally starting to see that I can be alone and be ok and even happy. <br /><br />I want you to be happy too, and I hope you find your way there. :)<br /><br />Luv you Jo!!!!Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.com
