The roller coaster ride from day to day, or from hour to hour some days, is enough to wear the toughest girl to the bone. It sure sounds like you've got yourself a wonderful hubby helping out. To get myself through those down times, I try to focus on the good things and repeat to myself "this too shall pass." I sometimes find that I'll dwell on what's bothering me. I read once that your conscious can only hold one thought at a time, so choose that thought wisely. I have my collection of happy memories (the first time I held my babies, my wedding, the first time my daughter said "I love you mommy"). I try to focus on one of those and soon I feel the tension release a bit.<br /><br />BTW, visiting from the D-List. Love the blog. What a cutie!!<br /><br />--Jen (http://www.heligirl.com)Heligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245302033325849771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-73238665442409118132010-05-06T06:00:11.275-07:002010-05-06T06:00:11.275-07:00EVERY Momma has a bad day.

Those days are awesome!<br /><br />Then there will be days where you feel like it was amazing that you even got to brush your teeth! ;)<br /><br />Being a momma is just kind of like that. Be easy on yourself and enjoy the up days, but don't kick yourself on the not-so-up ones. :DCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129978746407449887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-79438153547941340832010-05-04T09:25:28.764-07:002010-05-04T09:25:28.764-07:00Hey, sounds to me like you're doing great. Eve...Hey, sounds to me like you're doing great. Even now that I'm fully recovered from PPD I have my grumpy, irritable days...lack of sleep can do that to you! I think your grumpiness and tiredness the day after giving so much of yourself is totally natural. When I start having those feelings I try to think of it as my psyche's way of taking care of me--like it's saying, "Okay, you did a LOT yesterday. Now you need some rest and some alone time!" <br /><br />And you WILL have more and more days that are good from start to finish. :)Muser Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619098935024377476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-36932715007219363392010-05-04T06:49:37.485-07:002010-05-04T06:49:37.485-07:00I got anxious just reading that!

I am sure the lack of sleep was part of the issue, it is with me when I don't have sleep. You are a great mom and can do this!Okie Redneckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521169603151452445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-26130230004430963112010-05-03T14:03:04.318-07:002010-05-03T14:03:04.318-07:00There are those days that every mom feels that she...There are those days that every mom feels that she is failing - and that is without having PPD.<br /><br />Be patient and kind with yourself - it WILL get better!Kim Lehnhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516002280882854450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-4428331654441907102010-05-03T13:26:25.722-07:002010-05-03T13:26:25.722-07:00I have days like those - days when I feel as far a...I have days like those - days when I feel as far as I've come with my PPD, I'm right back where I started. Those days are rough. But I do what I can to get through those days and hope that the next day is, if nothing else, just a little bit better. I think I will always have bad days - I just have to focus enough to not let those days beat me!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190236280134389968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341276326381683717.post-62799852466556125232010-05-03T13:18:51.439-07:002010-05-03T13:18:51.439-07:00What a day!

And sometimes, what doesn't bug you one day, really drives you crazy the next. I hope your day is getting better. Cake or cookies usually help! ;)The Crazy Coxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143173109964647936noreply@blogger.com
