As I am sitting here at 9am with dishes undone and kids running crazily around the house doing blogging I realize I need to get up and get my house in order and make my spirit glow.

It's amazing how much more comfortable the house feels. There's a lot more to do, but it's progress. One thing that helps me is to focus my thoughts on what I <I>have</I> done, rather than on what still needs to be done. It's so easy for a mother's sense of contentment to be wrapped up in the orderliness of the house. <BR/><BR/>All I can do is send you hugs, unless you'd like some help with your house.

But understanding that will help you to fight off the temptations to give up when they come. You can decide to let a bad day just be a bad day--not the evidence that it's no use trying anymore! <BR/><BR/>You have a great support group in your family and friends--including cyber friends like me who have come to love and admire you through reading your comments on other blogs as well as your personal blog posts.<BR/><BR/>We are all pulling for you, and you can be sure that there will be lots of extra prayers on your behalf!Rosalie Erekson Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985594370560172873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-121173029244510052008-08-17T23:40:00.000-06:002008-08-17T23:40:00.000-06:00I'm sorry you have hit rock bottom, but I'm impres...I'm sorry you have hit rock bottom, but I'm impressed with your plan.

For some reason a sink with no dishes and bathrooms that smell good make my life so much happier. <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy for you! You will do this and do it well.

We'll survive, and we WON'T forget about you.<BR/><BR/>You need to do what's most important for you and your family. Maybe you'll take my advice and stop reading/commenting at all of those community blogs? You have all the community a girl needs right here babe!<BR/><BR/>Forced self-motivation....that's a good idea. I think I'll try it too. Self-pity, look out.

I am sure that we are not the only ones feeling this way. I really believe that it is a way for Satan to get at us, because we have a powerful effect on our families. You go girl. You can do it and I am going to try to be better too. It is nice to know that I am not the only one feeling this way.sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515448885088985955noreply@blogger.com
