So much I want to say...but it's frankly, it's not worth saying.
Sick of going constantly. Sick of trying. Just can't sustain this...
I commented on a blog the other day that if I felt any more guilt for failing at something in my life, that I thought it would put me right over the edge. Well, apparently that's where God wants me, so he provided that little extra nudge tonight. I give up, I'm done.
So tomorrow I'm saying "heck with it" - and my children and I are sleeping in. Not setting the alarm clock at all. And you know what? No one is going to die. School will still be there waiting when we wake up - guaranteed. I don't know, maybe we'll all do better if we are more rested (or maybe I should say if I'm more rested). It's an experiment worth trying, at least. Could it get any worse? No, wait - don't answer that...
(Of course, all this is just me blowing off steam...I'm not quitting being a wife/mom/teacher/friend or anything of the other things that I am/do...I'm just taking some 'mental health time' in the morning and praying tonight that God gives me a download of fresh perspective while I sleep...)

I love you. But - obviously you've forgotten that there's not much "mental health" to be found in our family....sorry, we're sore outta luck.
Good Morning Jess - hope you're still sleeping, and that the extra rest did you (and the kids) well! Have a good day! And my take is - if your homeschooling - you can start whenever you want! That's one of the perks, right?!?! I'll be praying today!
And Bets - let's not say there isn't too much "mental health" in our family - since I'm thinking that some of us are as healthy as they get (I've seen many others who seem worse than us!) - your scarin' me!
Jess, hope you're feeling better by now. Like Holly, I'm thankful for the "mental health" measure our families have been blessed with.
