would you all be so kind as to pray for me?

I've almost posted this so many times but this afternoon I'm just going to DO it

I'm struggling right now . . . hard to get up in the morning, hard to deal with all the temper tantrums and crying my 2yo has all day, hard to make my husband understand how overwhelmed I am most days, afraid I'm not a good mother to my girls, afraid I'm stressing out and annoying my husband with my hormones and tears and neediness. . .

Please? One little prayer?

I know this too shall pass, but sometimes even getting to the end of the day seems like an eternity.

Praying for you, Mary Theresa. Being a mom of little is hard and overwhelming at times. I'm glad you did post the prayer request - it's a way we can help!

Sending prayers... I have been where you are many times, and time and prayers most certainly help.

Praying for you! And sending a cyber hug- it is hard with little ones, just hard, plain and simple. Or, as my dh likes to say, high maintenance/high reward

Oh, Mary Theresa......I am SO sorry. I was in constant distress over my 4th 2yo!.......frequently calling my dh at work, in tears

and, I would say......going from one child to two........was the hardest for me........esp as that first child was a poster child for the strong-willed child

You have my sympathy and my prayers........let me know if you ever need a shoulder ar an ear to vent to....

also.....try Rescue Remedy for BOTH of you when needed

......when we found a homeopathic constitutional remedy from a homeopathic MD for our 2yo child when she was about 4yrs..........she bcame the sweetest kid........WOW, did it ever work!! ...though, we need it again!

Praying for you, Mary Theresa. Being a mom of needy little ones can be so draining! Are you able to nap at all? Getting rest will help.
