I think I am typically a pretty good Mom, but after four days without a husband I get "terrible worn out". It's especially bad this week because Emily has been sick and has had trouble sleeping so I've let her sleep with me. Instead of having some alone time to decompress at night I've had to deal with all the joys of taking care of a sick kid. I was hoping that David would be home at a decent time tonight, but found out that he won't be home until 8:30 or 9:00. Big sigh. I love being a Mom but I really need a break. I'm not one of those super-energy women who are "on" all the time. After so many hours I just shut down, and I am afraid I'm at that point. Right now my kids are eating chips and guacamole for dinner (and coming in every 2 1/2 minutes to ask me what else they can have). I want to just crawl into bed and hide, but I think they would find me.

I totally understand, of course because I was a single mom for over a year. It is HARD WORK, with NON-STOP! Sometimes I feel I have become lazy now that I am married to Jake because he does so much. Right now he is bathing the kids! (we are at a hotel in Zions)
But hang in there... It is worth it and the kids LOVE you! RELAX ON A BEACH... Seriously! Get a sitter!! :)
I understand completely. Chris works long hours and has a long commute. He is usually only home to help 1-2 days nights a week during the weekdays, And the nights he is home, I've already done it all because he doesn't get home until after all the bedtime stuff is done. Often I feel like a bad mommy too.
i was in that same place last night. hubby gone, kids stayed up till ten cuz i was too tired to put them to bed. they ended up sleeping in my room, me in theirs. baby steps till 6 o'clock!
You are not a bad mommy! That is totally normal. Tomorrow will be better... thats what I always tell myself!
I feel for you! I can handle a couple of days by my self, but four, and over a weekend, it's hard. I hope you have a nice relaxing day after he gets home. You are a great mommy, who needs a break!
I second all previous posts. :)
You are an excellent Mommy who sometimes get plumb tuckered out! Young kids just have a tendency to do that to a Mommy, espcially when Dad is gone. I hope these next days are brighter and easier!
Mommy you are the best mommy in the world. And that blog doesn't sound like a bad mommy. Oh and when I read the title it made me laghf becase it sounds like someone is talking to a cat that is named mommy.
