Complete and Total Honesty

Sailing through some choppy water at the moment. I'm feeling very incompetent at the moment, and no matter what people say, I take it the wrong way. I seem to only hear "You suck. Do it this way instead, because clearly you are an epic failure as a wife, mother, home manager, etc." So for now, I think I need to focus on getting my head into a better place. Please stick around, because I will write again someday, but I just can't manage it right now.

Some of the stuff I'm dealing with:

Eczema
Allergies
Getting ready for kindergarten (school uniforms, school supplies, etc.)
Getting ready for preschool
Planning a Thanksgiving
Planning Christmas/Boxing Day
Normal, every day household management stuff
Body image issues (not new, but pretty intense at the moment)
Sleep deprivation
All the challenges of four children aged five and under.
Feeling completely inadequate in every possible way.

Yeah. It's a lot. So check back every now and again, and hopefully I'll have sorted this mess out.

1 kind words:

I FEEL you!

We have a newly diagnosed (but suspected for a few months) gluten allergy to deal with (that makes cooking impossible and I already didn't like to cook).

Finding out we're having TWINS!

And then my own personal baggage that has all seemed to surface recently.

It will get better, right? :)
