So totally understand burnout - I have a lot of single/child-free friends and they just don't get how hard it is. Each day taken alone is almost always manageable, but once they all start to run together and the sleep debt adds up....tired cranky mommy pops up out of the woodwork.

With the boy home sick with a stomach flu, I’ve hit burnout too. He and I’ve been sleeping in the familyroom, and with the cat threatening to pounce, the constant “barf alert”, and the discomfort of sleeping on the couch, I’m tired and maybe sick now too. Plus, I’m sure I’m PMS’ing.
Not sure what I’d do if Roomie always left town… he, as a college instructor, has awesome hours and can be home to pick up the girl from school, so I can stay home with he sick boy.

ps – wish I could join you guys at BlogHer… but with family coming in to town plus a wedding, my hands are tied. can’t wait to read all the stories and see all the pictures.

That was me last week; and will be me again sometime this week I’m sure as, yes, the man is away for work again. Both kids in bed with me every night this week… but then again I sorta love it that they both still fit.

Those feet, those cute feet!

It cycles, and you’ve totally said it – it is really, really freakin’ hard.

And, d’uh, why did I just realize that you’re going to BlogHer too…. squeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

People who think motherhood is easy are nuts! That's one of the reasons I passed on having kids. As the oldest, I raised my "kids" (my brother and sister) plus an alcoholic mother and an alcoholic drug addicted first husband. I was done. Teena in Torontos last blog post..Highland dance class

I’m going through the exact same thing at the moment.
It’s always worse when big daddy is out of town and I’m left in robo-mom-mode.
I hope you can squeeze in some personal time this week.

You really freak me out by somehow going through the exact same feelings, at the exact same time! Today has been my major burnout day. Ready to curl up in a ball, pretend I am a small little pebble in my garden and disappear:)

Let me know when you find a cure for the burn out. Is there a pill? I'd like to take it. Emmas last blog post..Curtains: part two

Last week I was having some “me” time and M fell outside. It took everything I could not to go to him. My husband handled it fine. Rascal is still a bit young but soon your hubby will be able to handle those little mishaps without the boy screaming for mom.
