How weird is THAT?? I think I need to have my thyroid checked. Girl, I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse, but you are NOT ALONE! Obviously, because all the people who replied before me pretty much said the same thing. I know it makes ME feel better to know I'm not the only one who goes thru all this! THANK YOU for validating me! I totally thought I posted this on MY blog but it ended up on YOURS! How weird is THAT??

The next time my husband or one of my friends (who are almost all child-less) tells me to take a chill pill, I will just tell them that I am "thick with thought ..." :) I often feel the same way, but devoting your time to your kiddies and doing all that you do for them is the best. Mommying, while one of the most important jobs, is sometimes one of the most thankless jobs. You/we should never feel we're not doing enough! “Thick with thought” - I like that.

Only difference is that I'm a working mom who feels that I never get it right either. I often think my kids deserve so much better than what they got. But then I remind myself that they are healthy despite the lack of green vegetables, they are in a stable home life, & they love me unconditionally. Ultimately, how the house looks won't matter in the end. Sure, it would be nice if it were clean more often than it's not. Or ever. I just can't feel guilty about it now. I have too much else to either "grow" on or not believe the devil's lies. My brain? Is full. Did I sleep-write this post under your name? I swear it’s my brain thick with thought too.

It seems we are all having these thoughts these days. Go check out Kim's post from yesterday and my comment. We're a; ;struggling with these types of "crazy brain" thoughts. Hang in there!

You are an amazing mom (I just know it, ok?) and the house stuff is less important that the interacting with people stuff. I totally get where you're coming from re: the whole food thing. Maybe you can have a day where you cook stuff to last the whole week to give yourself a break. And women...those that ignore you are NOT worth a moments thought. You are a treasure, a gift, a fantabulous amazing woman and anyone who is not completely blinded by that fact is stupid. So there (hands on hips).
