soooooooo true . I am struggling with this too and I am my own worst enemy. Even with the sleep somewhat improved, I feel like it is constant and I find myself snapping. Good to know I am not alone. SO, I am getting some oxygen today… 2 hrs at a coffee shop – me , book, lap top, Chai tea, cake etc…..

Thanks Louisa! Great advice. Of course I’m not taking Vitamin D. At all. I have some terrible resistance to taking pills. And I know I’ve got to get on it. thanks for the reminder and thanks for reading my posts!

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your articles! This was GREAT as I struggle with self care although I recognize when I need it (it’s just hard to take time for myself…I feel guilty). I was just talking with a friend today about how important it is for us to care for ourselves. It makes us better moms in the end! But getting my hubby to understand is a challenge. Whenever I want to take time for myself he states, “when do I get my time?” What do you say to that?!?!?!

Amen, sister. Be sure you’re taking lots of Vitamin D. And my only other words of “wisdom” (yes that’s in quotes for a reason) are that this time truly does go quickly. My kids are a couple years older than yours, and although we still have our days, things do get much easier every year!
