Hey Colleen, As you can see, I am too behind and am checking up on you. Sorry that you are feeling so overwhelmed. You are in good company anyway. Hope things have gotten a wee bit better in the past week. As the boys get a little older, it will get easier. Try to find something funny in every day. And take a couple regular Advil before you go to bed. It allows my body to relax enough to get to sleep. Hang in there, Sue

Colleen, this is a comment for “tammy” so pass it on if she doesn’t see it. Check out your county health department and find out their policy on childhood immunizations. At ours, the immunizations are free except for a $10 processing fee. This is $10 per visit and NOT per shot, so you can get all the necessary ones per visit. I’m in Missouri, so things may be different but it’s worth it to take a look. It doesn’t matter if you have insurance either. I had insurance but it didn’t cover any immunizations so I went to the health department for my son’s shots.

Girl, I know just what you are saying and related to so many of your bullet points. In fact, the reason I didn’t comment last night when I was reading this, was because my little one woke up screaming and I had to go to her (at 10:30!!!!). I’m so very tired of not sleeping all night in my own bed.

It’s got to get easier at some point, right? We won’t always be this exhausted and done, will we?

I’m so sorry. I know those days, and sometimes there are few answers. Hang in there, God knows your situation and He’s got a plan. Does this make it easier? No. But at least you know there’s a reason for things and sometimes that helps.

I feel ya, kiddo. I found myself half-seriously thinking that maybe I should go ahead and get my other foot operated on because at least I’d get to be unconscious during the surgery. Then I snapped back to reality and thought about chasing around an 8-month old while I was on crutches.

If it makes you feel any better, when I called our pediatrician to set up a payment schedule (for baby shots, not for anything that was an actual emergency, thank you stupid insurance that maxes out “preventative” coverage at about 50% of what it actually costs to immunize an infant during the first year… $#@!), the nurse told me that a lot of their patients are on payment schedules nowadays. I’m sure they won’t laugh at you.

Oh girl I can relate. I am tired as well. I hope things are going to improve.
But again, your not alone.

I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. As much as I love being a mommy, there are some serious downsides to the job too…and I think you listed just about every one of them. When you are feeling stressed, tense, worn out, over worked, and just plain done…remember there are lots of use feeling the same way – you are not alone.

*hugs*

You just described the life and times of 99% of the moms I know. Some days I look around at the mess that is my home, the savages that are my children, a pile of safe haven projects and a wasted education bc the job I want didn’t hire me… and I just think, “Why? Why is it all so damn hard?” Then a little one surprises me with a hug instead of a tantrum, a baby is brought into a safe haven instead of a dumpster, and I remember, THIS is why. Because it’s all so worth it. All the hard work, ridiculous commutes and insanity inducing BC problems are part of what makes up this life. Hope you get something nice to bring about the shift in perspective. If not, let’s just meet for margaritas and foget all the deep, thoughtful stuff I just said.

Have you tried Yaz or Yasmine??

Bless your heart! As far as the office people who work at the health care facility that has the $ owed them goes, they will take whatever you offer. And as long as you pay it on time, every month, it will never affect your credit. And here’s the thing: It can be $5.00. $10.00. Whatever you can manage. Throw extra at it when you can. Just do it every month.
Now, as for the rest, send the kids to me, run yourself a hot bubble bath and take a bottle of wine in there with you… Tell Justin where he can find you when he gets home and if he’s smart he’ll join you!

Oh, and just to let you know you don’t have to worry about blog fodder… I’m tagging you for a meme. Am I awful? It will be painless, (well almost), I promise! so head on over to my site and check it out.
I will pray for you TONIGHT!
