battlemaiden Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just a little one from those of you who pray. I'm fatigued and I don't have the luxury to be fatigued. I'm feeling grumpy and can't seem to snap out of it. This is compounded by the fact that my 12 yods reads my moods like a book and reacts badly when I'm stressed-sort of a mixture of wanting to fix me and being anxious. Honestly, it drives me batty, but I think it is his temperment to be very, very aware of people around him. I have simplified Christmas to the extent I'm able, but I have commitments- military wife stuff- that can't be avoided, and getting the gifts for the immediate and extended family organized and sent is tough. It's just a lot to make the magic of Christmas by myself. wah. Okay, enough said. I just found myself trying to pray this morning and feeling like I'm in 100 pieces, and not at peace. I know it will be okay, but as I go into another day praying I will be a good mom and get all that needs to get done with a good attitude I feel weak. Hence my request. Thanks.

Ria Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Oh, sweet Jo. I will pray for you. I wish you hadn't moved halfway 'round the world. I can't drive to Hawaii to have coffee, but I sure would be heading down to VA.... Hugs, girlfriend. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You are not selfish!!! I requested a similar request this week and you might want to read the responses. I've reread it every day this week and it has helped. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69942 Praying for you! Hoping you find rest and strength!

sweetTN Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think we all have times like this, but it is especially hard during holidays AND away from friends and family. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 :grouphug: This time of year can add a lot of stress. I've been feeling overwhelmed, too. I can't even imagine adding a baby, a toddler, and an absent dh to how I feel right now.:tongue_smilie: I'll be praying for you as I clean my house today - something I'm dreading, so maybe praying for you will encourage me to see that my glass is half full. How's that for selfish? :D I'm praying for you so that I can feel better! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlemaiden Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ack! I posted this in the wrong place! I'm sorry. See, and I thought you were just giving me a smack down for being grumpy in paradise. :lol: I am thankful it isn't 20 degrees here. Thanks for the reminder. :001_smile: Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinmom Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Don't know how you do it with all your responsibilities! I would think you'd be entitled to feeling like you're in pieces (I have felt that way often under much less stress than you have!). Nonetheless, prayers here and :grouphug: and peace to you. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
