My mom is great.
Really.
She left Sunday evening after spending 10 days here. I would have not been able to survive without her. Joel was amazing the first week and my mom covered the second week.
Seriously – she was a lifesaver. She cooked, she cleaned, she shopped, she put away laundry, entertained the kids, played nurse to all kids who all had conjunctivitis, and just let me rest. We really ran her ragged – and constantly. There was absolutely no break for her. I feel terrible that I was such a bad host, but seriously, I haven’t been able to do much. I really cannot fully express how much I appreciated her. Thank you seems to lack so much.
Today is my first day alone with no help as a mom of 4. I thought I was prepared but I am tired and haven’t been as nice as I need to be. I just started the kids on a project so hopefully that will help me cool off a little bit. I hate being grumpy with the kids. It is a terrible feeling. But Jack has 2 more weeks off before school starts again – I’m praying that I will be able to be in more of a routine and on top of things by then.
Wish me luck!
