Little by little
So today's accomplishments were 2 loads of laundry, 2 loads of dishes, prepared dinner and dessert, washed the dog, and bit of online shopping. All this after a pretty rocky 'morning' of feeling overwhelmed. Ending the day with an improved mood and excited about the walk Guin asked for tomorrow :)

That feeling of being 'overwhelmed' comes and goes for me as well. I can only imagine that with a new baby, a 3 year old, a house and a hubby too, that you feel overloaded with responsibility! You amaze me with the way you can juggle all of what you've got and at times you even look for more!!! Well baby, all I can advise is to hang on to the good times and coast through the bad... The feeling of being 'overwhelmed' is an anxiety and a stress factor, don't over do it one day in order to feel good but glide by and do a little each day; thus, this 'coasting' makes you feel accomplished, you then can relax a bit and take breaks for yourself... let a day go by because you've done something the day before and will again do another tomorrow... You know our little family, with maybe the exception of maybe dad, are an anxious little bunch... I believe that as my children you guys get this from me :( Both of you; however, seem to handle your anxiety better then I ever did at the age of family rearing and work responsibilities! Remember to stop and give yourself credit where credit is due :) Much love... xo
