And manage to do a hall, bathroom, and the kitchen too.
Now I"m tuckered.

Hello ladies - I'm hoping to get some words of encouragement.
Nothing is really wrong, I just feel out of sorts. I started a new job with the company I've been with for 3+ years which was a huge promotion for me. It's great, I just haven't been in a position where I wasn't 100% sure of what I'm doing for so long that I feel out of sorts. I'm also in the last semester of courses for my master's degree. The travel (I was literally coast to coast this week), the workload, the homework, and being a mom seems to finally be getting the best of me. I'm totally drained, I have no energy, and most of the time I find myself on the verge of tears.
My hubby is super supportive and does ABSOLUTELY everything he possibly can for me, but yet I feel like I'm not doing enough to be a good mom or wife. I know that my family understands, but it's tearing at me that I'm emotionally away so much either working, travelling, or doing homework. Of course, I picked this wonderful time to quit smoking as well - which thankfully is going very well. I only had to revert to analogs once when I was on a trip and dropped my 510 (battery, atty, and drip-tip) in the car on my way to the airport. I smoked two analogs on that trip and they were AWFUL!
I know that I really have nothing to complain about, but I feel so drained and tired and worn out and frustrated. Even though I know that things will be settling down in the near future - I feel like I'm just losing control.
What does a girl do? I have absolutely no time to myself to go shopping, get my hair done, get a pedicure - nothing. I barely keep up with my homework as it is!

It does seem like, sometimes, that all of life is conspiring against us You've got a lot of good things going for you - a new position, last semester for your master's, understanding family, quitting analogs - but also some of those bringing some big changes! Hang in there and I'm sure that after some adjustment time, things will start feeling easier. Take care of yourself and realize that you may not be able to do everything to the extent that you would like to be able to, but that what you are able to do, may be enough.

Great answer Moon. especially this "what you are able to do, may be enough."
It sounds like you're exhausted and overwhelmed Rycheme. Lots of changes, lots of feelings. Both are ok... you don't actually have to be in control all of the time and learning new stuff isn't comfortable. There are often emotional changes that come with quitting smoking. Hang in there and don't let all of the the changes and stress make you doubt yourself or your capabilities
Good morning ladies!

I always find a lazy Sunday spent eating take out pizza and popcorn and watching movies,snuggling on the couch with Hubs and kids and dogs makes me feel more connected. Its not what you do,its just the time spent. Relax and enjoy being the Mom and wife,Dont worry about the other stuff for a day.

Sitting back in the crafts room, listening to my little grandson babbling in his crib in the living room. Hoping he will fall asleep soon for his nap. Once my granddaughter gets home in a little while from visiting her mom, any hope of nap time will be gone
My husband is helping our oldest daughter and her boyfriend move to an apartment today - a long overdue move. They had been living, with the baby, with his dad and his brother - making for a very crowded house and a difficult environment for my daughter. She is so happy that they will finally be able to set up house on their own.
I was so proud of my husband. I had set him up with a couple of auto Volts and supplies last weekend, which he had been using intermittently during the week. He went off this morning without a cig pak in his shirt pocket - just the Volt!

When it rains it pours. My phone screen is cracked, I got a note from my instructor asking me to call him tomorrow because it appears I didn't understand the assignment and I just turned in the third assignment which I did pretty much the same way.
So I bought a purse and a necklace.
