@Marillyn @ just-making-noise, Momma friends are the best! My prayers have finally been answered in that area and I have some great friends I can call on anytime I need 'em. And I'm always an e-mail away! Don't necessarily have advice, but everyone needs a sounding board for venting!!

Very good post and great timing! I am finding myself feeling like I’ve been in a funk lately. Two strong-willed & lively girls can take a lot out of anybody ) Its hard to get up before the girls because my oldest usually wakes up between 5:30 – 6 in the morning, but we just started a new rule where she is not allowed to leave her room till we come to get her. She can go to the bathroom if she needs, but otherwise she stays in her room and can read or play. It helped a lot this morning… we will see how it goes over the next couple weeks.

I wish I had someone I could go to consistently to ask for advise and vent a little ) That’s my prayer… I need a momma friend.

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. Two rambuncious toddler boys and a husband who’s out of town this week are leaving me very ragged. I completely agree with getting up before the kids. Although it is very hard for me to do when I don’t get a full night sleep as it is.

A lot of times in the middle of the day if I’m feeling particularly frustrated, I’ll call my mom or sister. My mom had 7 kids so she’s had it worse than me! My sister’s in a similar boat… it always helps to vent a little

Thanks for this post!

Thank you, thank you! My baby has been sick. I have been sick. Yup, I’ve been in a rut! Thanks for reminding me that it’s normal – it feels good to be validated! And thanks for the suggestions on how to get OUT of the rut! I appreciated reading this today.

Thank you for taking the time to write this post. I am a stay at home mom and this is a huge change for me. I have a 6 month old little girl. She is a huge blessing. But I have really struggled with staying at home all the while feeling guilty for feeling that way. I was particulary frustrated today and prayed just a few hours ago that God would send me something, anything, b/c I did not know even what to ask for. That was how frustrated and lost I felt. This article helped me and I believe it was my “something” from God. thank you for the encouragment and helping me to see I’m not alone.

Thank you all for your sweet comments. This has been laying on my heart lately and I prayed as I wrote it that it might touch just one person.

Thanks again for taking a moment to let me know.

Thank you for this beautiful post. I followed the link from Biblical Womanhood and I am so glad I did. I have two daughters 4&1 and another child on the way, my husband has been working long hours due to broken fixtures, my children are sick and off their routines, our home is up for sale and I have just felt like quitting ALL week! It's so exhausting sometimes. I was really encouraged by your post and seeing that I am not the only woman out there who occassionally feels this way. Definitely good reminders of some very important guidelines to follow. Anyway, so just wanted to say thanks.

Thanks for such an enlightening post… I recently started devoting time to God. I do get up an hour an half early than my kiddo, but mornings are rushed as hubby and myself are working. I have less of patience, get frustrated easily and i stop to enjoy my kid. Praying is helping me stay calm most of the time. Your post has given me a different perspective on various ongoings in my life.

Thank you for this beautiful post
