StrESseD OOuutT!

Ok. . . major distress call to all you mothers who have just as much, more, and WAY more on your plate than I do. I need some intervention. I feel like . . . ugh. . . I don't even know. I am actually stunned at all the emotions I can feel at once lately.

Is this post partum depression, is it number 3, is it hormonal woman syndrome? Or is it just the life of a mom and I just better get used to it (as my oh so tactful and delicate husband would say)?

I know I haven't really given much detail, but does anyone really care? I mean it is 12:30 am, two of my three just went to bed, and the youngest is still screaming. Deep down I know that when I finally fall into bed after I am done with two more hours of work (for the job I get paid to do) and the morning comes it will be a new day. . . but of what? More of this. Yikes ! I need a pedicure! a cruise, a break, or is it a pill I need.

So please give me some advice, a web-based slap in the face . . ."Snap out of it and don't get Stuck in The Moment" attention-getter. Or a pat on the back, "I know how you feel, but snap out of it" tender talking to. You decide . . . but I need to feel heard!
