This is completely ridiculous! I think I have never even come close to feeling this overwhelmed and wanting to pull the covers over my head before. I am absolutely having to pull myself along every day. I have no idea what it is, but it is the worst feeling ever. I am usually on top of things and chipper, but now, it's like...."breakfast, again??? Already?" etc. It feels like a huge fog, and its crazy. Every day whizzes by at breakneck speed, which is good because feeling like this for a long drawn out day everyday would suck....LOL. But its like one day I woke up fallen very very very behind, and I can't catch up at all, and the train is leaving the station at 100 mph. Does this sound like anything you have ever heard?
I just want to do nothing at all until I get everything settled down, but darn if I can, because hubby works, oldest has basketball games, and next oldest son wants me to help him work to get money. and hubby and oldest have softball games that they like me to attend. ACK!!!!!!
We are about to embark on a new journey called no church. Or at least finding another church.....which feels alot like getting a divorce. We have gone here for 8 years, and its just not good for us anymore, but darn if I think there IS anything good for us anymore. My husband does NOT want to home church, but there are no very family centered, no youth group having, and homeschoolers only churches around. So, what to do? Having the kids around all the public schooled nonsense children in our church (while they are better than most children I have seen) has done nothing positive for my children. It has been the opposite as a matter of fact, but its hard now for them to possibly be happy about saying good bye. What about their friends?????? I hear this all the time. And where are all those darn conservative christian children anyway? I want my kids to be around people like us, and only have friends who hold the same values, and not want to be just like the typical teenagers etc....but there are none!!!!!!!!!!!! And my children seem to think that they need friends.
I am so very tired of feeling like I want to get off this train...........

Holly,
I feel like that a lot, and we only have 3 children. :-)
Do you get to get out by yourself, at all? DH lets me go to the grocery store by myself or the library, or just get out for and hour by myself when I feel really overwhelmed, and when I get back I feel more ready to face the next day. And, on those overwhelming days I just try to get the essential stuff done, and not worry about the rest.
On the subject of friends, I would tell them they have a whole family full of "friends". Family loves you no matter what, and they will always have their siblings, friends come and go.
Hi Holly,
I'm VERY familiar with the "fog"...but that's because it's part of my illness. I mean it goes along with fibromyalgia, and also some of the autoimmune diseases I have too. Just type "brain fog" into Google and follow the links and you'll see fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases in there as common causes of brain fog.
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling that way. I wouldn't wish that on anyone!! It scares me when I feel that way, because I've always been one of these people who's "in control" of their environment, and when I have brain fog, I feel as helpless as a child, and just as clueless about how to regain control, too.
Are you feeling OK physically?
We are in the same situation with respect to church. We are "looking" for a new church, but basically that boils down to just not attending church. Our old church is no longer the right place for us. But I hate not going to church!
I'll be praying.....please remember us in prayer too.
JoAnn
