Have you given any further thought to getting away, even just for a little while? It could give you some much needed rest and perspective. Everyone, especially stressed moms, needs some downtime.

we haven't discussed it further. i'm going to bring it up with t tonight and see what he thinks. i have mixed feelings on all of it. like i want to get away. on the other hand finances are limited and maybe it'd be better to get away when the weather gets cold because i also get SAD. and then i have the guilt from the finances lol. i have family that live out in the southwest so while of course it's not *warm*, i live in the upper midwest with negative degree weather so it would practically be summer compared to where i'm at.
thanks for the reminder that it's normal. i feel so crazy!
