Motherhood Is Overwhelming...

Last night I had a small breakdown.  I had spent the day trying to unpack more boxes and organize, doing laundry, prepping dinner, doing Kieren's "school time", working, coming home to prep dinner for the next day...then crying.  Norm asked what was wrong and I said, "I just feel overwhelmed".  I realize that we just moved into a new house and that's a huge stresser in of itself.  I just started to feel like I was missing out on playing with the kids and having fun, because I was trying to get all these things done.  We talked last night about how after we're done with Kindergarten, we might send Kieren to school.  This whole home schooling thing is great and ideally works well with our work schedules...but that's just it, I work.  It might only be for 5 hours a day, in the evening, but it's hit me that this is not going to work long term.  It's no wonder to me why Moms that home school their kids don't usually have a job outside the home...
