Deborah, Being a mom is the hardest job and the pay stinks! It is the most rewarding though. A hot bath always helps anxiety, and a little snooze if at all posible with kiddos. Take time for yourself! Everyone needs a break, even super mom! God Bless! ~ Chessly

Find a friend to trade off with so that you can have an hour or two of free time each week. If you don't take care of you, who will?

Your poem has a good rhythm to pace the hectic life you're living.

No, no, no. You just need to read - The Way of the Pilgrim - by anonymous.

Everybody loses when parenting is not shared...including both parents.
The potential for fulfillment in parenthood is unlimited, but realizing it is uncommon.
I was so fortunate to have been in a family where it was managable- and that by the time I faced being a single parent enough of a good job had been done so I could handle the privilidge I fought for.
For anxiety?
I suggest Chopin Nocturnes with Klonopin as a distant back up.
Life seems to be about getting places we didn't think we could ever get to, and not knowing how we did it.
I still get to be a Mr. Momma at times...
Lots of Chopin- I'm an addict.

John
