I'm having a serious case of Monday blues today. I've been feeling down for a while now and I'm really getting sick of it. I'm tired of my work. I feel totally overwelmed. As though I'm doing something I'm not qualified to do and that I don't have near enough experience for. Being a perfectionist (only in my work though, don't expect me to be that in all areas of my life) doesn't help. I don't give myself a break and I will be hard on myself for a long time if I've made a mistake. Even just a little one.
It feels as though I'm being pulled in too many directions and can't give my full attention to any one thing in my life right now. I feel like I'm not half of the mom I used to be. I'm not giving Tommie the attention he deserves - this is not good for our marriage. Things are just too much. I need to stop this world for just a little while and get of.
While I feel overwhelmed - here my sweet sweet Zander laughing at his big brother Quintus.

Hi Mel, I so enjoy reading your blog and hearing what you all are getting up to! Sorry to hear that you are feeling so down and out! I have been there before too, it feels like everything is just too much for one person to handle! You def need a break girl! Your children are gorgeous and that clip of Zander is "priceless"! Look after yourself and try and take some time out even if it is just for an afternoon - you are in desperate need for some "me time" so as soon as the rush is over at work, do it! | |

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. Try to take comfort in your sweet, amazing children. That clip of Zander was absolutely precious! | |

And here I was, looking at you and thinking - "Thank goodness my daughter is here. I just feel I can't take it any more and she looks as though she can manage ANYTHING. So cool, calm and collected!" And now you feel the same..... But this is by far the worst year we have had. And it looks like this till the end of next wek. Love you though. | |

(((hugs))) Melany. I'm sorry you're so down and feeling so overwhelmed. Maybe you could take some time off work, maybe a leave of absense for a little while, get things together more? I hope you start to feel better soon. | |

Oh, Mel, I have felt like that before. And while I don't want to sound like a drug pusher, I didn't start to come out of it until I got some decent anti-depressants. Having babies can mess you up but, good, friend. I hope you start feeling better soon! | |

We swing through times like that from time to time here too. Hope it passes soon.
Man, I'm just too dang curious. Every time Wenchy leaves the Afrikaans comments I have to go to the online translator. But at least I learn something new each time! | |
