We women are FAR too hard on ourselves. We expect too much – too many smile-through-the-tough-stuff times. Forget it – you have to let it out, or it will eat away your soul.

I think all of us can write something like this; I know I could.

Hold tight and be patient. These things in life, I have found, are cyclical. The cheesy, “This too shall pass,” actually holds validity.

You got your AL Bitches to help you. You know that!

Just because there are others that are worse off doesn’t make what’s on YOUR plate any easier to deal with.
It doesn’t seem like you’re asking for a perfect life or bitching about nothing – there’s just SO much, that once it’s all added up… it’s drowning you.
I think the typical advice is to be proactive, etc… but I say cut yourself some slack, you have a lot going on. For right now, don’t push too much – do what’s necessary and let the rest slide.
It always gets better.. or so I’m told.

Hey, it’s all relative, isn’t it? Someone else might find some of the things I struggle with to be silly, and learning not to care about how they interpret my feelings is quite a task some days. Hang in there, Jen, you’re a great mom and have every right to talk about your feelings!

This is a great post with a great point.
I sometimes feel guilty about complaining about my problems when I think of my friend who’s baby has cancer, or The Spohrs, or all of the other people whose problems are so much larger than mine. But at the same time, when life is kicking your ass, it’s hard not to struggle with it all.
I hope things improve for you.

I love you, Jen. Your words hit home. We have no right to judge the problems others feel, as well all struggle with out own shit on a daily basis.

I think everyone feels like that sometimes–and you are right, they don’t have to be the biggest problems in the world to count–they are your problems and that makes them matter

Hang in there
