08-8-2009 - a much needed break

My mood while writing this blog: tired and grumpu

---

wow motherhood is harder than i thought
for the most part i have been keeping it together
especially given the fact that im a SINGLE mother
but the last couple days have been so hard on me that
ive even had thoughts of giving baby jacob up for adoption
which is something i could absolutlely never do ever!!
but thats how hard its been for me at times
luckily i have a wonderful family
and my big sister came to take jacob today and she will bring him
back tomorrow at noon ( probably sooner cuz i already miss him)
this is a much needed break
i need to take a shower, clean my house, run lots of errands
and get some sleep!!!

Awww sweetie... the way you are feeling is completely normal. It really gets overwhelming having a little one. You would never think something that small can tire you out so much!! Especially being a single mom you don't have the extra hands around the house to help .. its just you and the baby, But I hope you were able to get some much needed rest and clean up a little. Taking a long hot shower feels like heaven doesn't it..lol. But it will get better, once you get into routine. I'm here if you ever want some advice or just want to vent.

Good for you! There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a break. And the thoughts you are having are ok too, it's stressful being a mom, let alone a single mom. Enjoy your time to yourself tonight!

I agree you do need a break so that you can be refreshed, it will be better for you and your son. Don't feel guilty at least you acknowledge the fact that you do need help and a little break. Enjoy your break girly!

Good... we all need a break every once in awhile.. I could use one for sure! 24 hours a day.. and my boyfriend has her for less than 1... and during that time is when I'm pumping or cleaning.. We are gonna take her to a friends mom tonight to sit for us while we head to Denver for a few hours.. yikes! Enjoy your you time.. ahhhhhhh......... :)

I understand what it's like to need a break. It is so important to take those little breaks even if you weren't a single mother. I was lucky and had a mom that would take my son on weekends sometimes to give me a break so it's super nice your nice would help you out. Being a mom is more than a full time job and then having to live your life on top of that is hard work. Enjoy your time and your little break. You will feel so refreshed :o)
