This week has left me very little time to do anything for "me", so to explain why I'm short on posts: I am attempting to portray Superwoman right now and I feel like I'm falling extremely short. I am back in steady part-time position with the college. In addition I hold a contract position and manage all of the household duties, including finances and with an infant that still has night-time nursing sessions I get by on very little sleep. Plus, I want to give each of my children quality time each day. My hubby helps out tremendously, but as we all know there are some things that only mommies can do.
I know I am doing what I need to for my family and I'm grateful that I don't have to put any of the kids in childcare. Still, is it selfish to feel so overwhelmed?!!? I've taken courses on time management, but sometimes there just isn't enough time to efficiently manage everything on my plate . . .

I feel exactly the same way! As I read your post I realized I will be right where you are this time next year, back at work! I already feel so overwhelmed! I try to just keep in mind that right now all I can do is survive, everything is not the way I want it to be but that is okay. As long as I don't fall short with my children I can handle things. When things start interfering with them, that is when I start to break down. Don't feel alone in this, I am sure we are all feeling some of this and it is just going to get worse with the holidays coming. That is what we are all here for to support each other! From the outside looking in you are doing a great job! You are holding down the fort!
