Feeling a little raw

So I don't know if it's sleep-deprivation, or just having a new baby around, or jumping back into the fostering system with both feet and no water wings, but I've been feeling a little bit out of sorts today. I feel too needed, too tired, and a little bit too temporary. All of my plans have had to be post-poned or canceled. My house is a wreck. My three-year-old is three times as whiny and clingy and difficult. And I'm frustrated with myself, because this is what I've always wanted, and I'm too tired to appreciate it.

So yeah. I'm not feeling like myself. That's ok, right?

    Yes, it’s ok. The appreciation is there, and if you don’t feel it in some moments, that’s so very normal. Sleep deprivation is surely a factor and that MESSES with a person! You are doing an awesome job, because that’s what you do! I love you and I’m praying for you all today… 🙂

    You’re doing an amazing job. Don’t worry about everything going just right. Some days you just survive (or barely survive!!) Thankfully there’s always a better day ahead. Hopefully sooner than later of course.
