llm Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hello everyone, I had a rough weekend and just need some prayers. This is our first year homeschooling. While I LOVE the time that it has given us as a family and my favorite time of the day is HS, I sometimes feel worn out and exhausted and have a hard time keeping up with other things I need to get done. Having said that, the reason this weekend was hard is b/c my husband had to travel for a wedding this weekend. I was so looking forward to going with him and having a "date weekend"--- getting dressed up, being together, having nice meals where I didn't have to feed anyone but myself and the baby that is in my womb! Yet we couldn't find a sitter, so he went by himself. He had to go, as he was in the wedding. Now I don't want to bash my husband or anything, just say that I feel so down b/c I didn't get to go. It is like I just can't shake this sadness and feelings of frustration. I know much of my role here on earth is to serve others. It is hard but I do it. Just sometimes I get wiped out and feel overwhelmed. I do believe in spiritual warfare and believe that I am being pulled down. I just can't barely even feel like praying, and when I do I feel my prayers are not listened to. Anyone else ever feel this way? I feel so alone. I love my children but sometimes need a break. Any tips/advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsiegirls9 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hello! I'm soo sorry you re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, sad. I think a lot of us have BTDT. I find that putting on some good hymns help to lift my spirits and gets me out of my little moods. I also love serving others and a always looking for ways to share Gods love and grace. When we think of others and help them, it really helps to take our minds off our problems:-) Praying for you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 :grouphug: I would look for almost any way to have regular time to yourself to decompress. That's a key point in staying sane when your kids are home all the time. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It's hard being, the Agent. :grouphug: Of course you feel down after not being able to go away. Work on finding babysitting options so you can have a night away before the baby is born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llm Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thank you to everyone who wrote encouraging words, lifted me up in prayer, and sent hugs. It means so much. The power of prayer--- I felt better this afternoon than I have in days, which is a "peace that surpasses all understanding." Thank you for your empathy and compassion. It helps to know I am not alone. Thank you so much for your prayers. I can't tell you how much that means to me. God bless you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
