i'm exhausted - day 2

Submitted by sweetdumpling on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 2:09pm.

So i'm feeling a bit better this morning. paity is still feeling a bit under the weather, but i've got my fingers crossed. i'm looking after K today who is almost 4. he entertains paity quite well, but he's a bit more maintanince, so its a balence.
Lief slept pretty well, but i think is getting a bit of a cold as well.

i wrote on my facebook that i was tired and i had 2 friends offer to bring dinner, cause i have wonderful friends. I told nick this, and he said that he felt like he wasnt doing enough. the man goes to work, (on the DL) and has started roofing and then works when he gets home. he cant do more!! I'm so happy that i've got people to help.

at the same time, i think that i shouldnt need the help. he's 7 weeks old today and i figure i should be fine by now. but part of me knows that its not like that. that there are ups and downs and times when you need help. and i'm really happy to have it. i vow i will be helpful to everyone when they have a time of need.

thanks again for listening and for all your words of encouragment. it means a lot!

Mine are 8, 9, 13, 14 and I still need help! It's not just the kiddos that need a village, hip mamas need one too! We're here for you girl.

7 Weeks is still super young, especially with two other kids. You are right, there are a lot of ups & downs. I still need help sometimes & I just have one. Lot of love, you are an awesome mama!
