The drudgery of everyday life can sure overwhelm any of the good stuff. I just find that every day I feel like I am in some sort of siege and just holding on....no advancement, no back or forward....just hanging on to what ground I have. It is very exhausting. I really need 'me' time and not me time that means coming back to a disaster....so I have to figure out how to do that. Yep.... But it is true...it ain't forever and live is constantly changing and shifting and you never know what is going to happen next.

My brother is a single dad to a 7 year old girl - his wife died when his daughter was 2. I talk to him a lot and he is constantly exhausted and always scrambling to find time for anything. But when I see how much she adores him, and just wants to spend so much time with him and have his attention and love, I remind him that that is what it is all about (as tiring as all the rest of it may be). I think everyone gets a little run down by the humdrum routines of life. I certainly don't like endless laundry and cleaning etc. I suppose I would feel a lot more humdrum about it if I was doing it for a household which seemed unappreciative. But I am certain your family love you and cherish you, and realize how totally lost they would be without you running the show.

My kids are grown up now and actually becoming human beings. There's money left in the account at the end of the month and I can buy myself a treat once in a while :) It's good you can vent here - and really great you know it's a temporary insanity!
