Take all the help you can get. Always make time for yourself. Just because you are a mom doesn't mean fun in your life is gone. Every once in a while pamper yourself, buy something nice, and go out an interact with others. When your happy your kids are happy. Stay strong.

well, I am doing the same thing right now and it is stressful, but I just pat myself on the back at the end of the day because I know that it takes a strong woman to be able to do it! Just look forward to the future, think of how wonderful things will be...look at the achievements you've made!! It is definately easier to balance all of that and stay healthy and happy than it would be if you were sitting at home on your a$$ all day not doing anything, just you trying to better yourself for you and your children should make you happy!! Great Job, keep it up!!

It's just as you say, balance. Don't get stressed over things that will put your life and your family's harmony out of whack. You don't have to accept every single volunteer job at the school if you are a stay-at-home mom, just do your fair share.
Don't think you have to accept every invitation, have your kids in every major sport, and your house spotless before you can consider yourself happy and healthy ... it's okay to turn things down now and then in order to keep your family harmony going.

Meditating in the morning usually helps me keep things in check for the day. I definitely make time for myself, making sure that my physical, spiritual and mental needs are taken care of. When one of these 3 things get lost in the shuffle, I find that I am more cranky and less able to cope. It's ok to put yourself first sometimes. If you don't love yourself, it's not possible to love your family to the fullest. Merry Christmas.

just take a deep breath - take one step at a time - and deal. who ever comes first in importance - come first in fixing their problem. because of love you stay a happy person - don't always agree with the situation - but you do the best you can.

ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!! like take the xtra 5min to put on some makeup or do your hair!! making yourself LOOK good will help you FEEL happy more!! its easy to just let those few things slide away and once they do its hard to get it back!!
