Sometimes I can't wait till bedtime. I can't wait to have peace and quiet. I can't wait to not be climbed on and I can't wait to not be nursing anymore. Sometimes I wish I could go away for a few hours by myself without kids. Sometimes it bothers me that after cooking dinner and trying to provide my family a healthy dinner they say I don't like that I won't try it. Sometimes my husband doesn't help enough and I want to scream. Some days I do scream, a lot. Some days I go to bed and wonder if Ava will forgive me for yelling at her just because I have lost my patience. No sugar coating...

We've all been there (((())))
Gracie,
You are not alone in your feelings. I believe that everymom, especially with little ones, goes through this. Being the "everything" to "everyone" is difficult to say the least. Don't just wonder if your daughter will forgive you for losing your temper, it's perfectly ok and even best for you to sit with her at bedtime and let her know how sorry you are and that you love her. Children are quick to forgive, much quicker than adults. I will be praying for you to have some peace. :)
Have a blessed day!
I think we have all been there. I'm a stay at home Mom and I homeschool 3 kids. To say I spend a lot of time with my kids is an understatement lol. My husband totally understands the need for me to get away for a little while and refresh the batteries. It doesn't have to be much. Maybe lunch with a friend or a trip to the fabric store (at least that does it for me). Soon the feelings that haunted me so strongly before start to fade away and I am ready to press on. Just know that you aren't alone. There are so many that have felt those feelings you feel. Motherhood is a great sacrifice, but well worth it. Hang in there my friend.
Blessings to you!

Aww, Grace it's the same for me. I guess it's just part of being a wife and mother.
