Emotionally Exhausted

Emotionally Exhausted

I am feeling so tapped out.

For today I will be cleaning the house and trying to wipe this feeling of exhausted state out.

The kids are still under the weather, however feeling much better. They are outside while J does some yard work. They are edgey and hard to deal with. There is a lot of whining and discontent.

Am I the only one that struggles not to forget they are feeling ill? My patience is zapped.

    I totally get what you are saying. The hardest part is when they are feeling better but not normal cause then they just drive you crazy. I know this all to well. In fact Andrew took the kids out this morning to get them away from me. They have been driving me insane with to sick to go to programs but to well to be home all the time.
    Hoping things will be back to normal for you real soon…

    It’s so hard (especially when you’re exhausted) to take care of sick kiddos. Levi and I are both sick, and I keep having to remind myself that the whining is because he feels just as crudy as I do. Cut yourself some slack though…we ALL manage to forget sometimes.

  10. Nope….I had to really work at patience when my kids were younger and even then, I still didn’t have it mastered…not even when they were sick.
