Boy do I feel this too! I work three days a week as a nurse and in theory have two days a week that my kids are in school, but something always comes up. A kid is home sick, I shop on a field trip, I work an extra day at my job, I just can never get caught up. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel! I think one thing I'm going to start doing is just blocking out a day. Obviously I can't just do nothing the entire day but I think I'm going to block it out and have a couple hours set as admin time. To make doctor's appointments, pay bills, go through the pile of paperwork from school, etc. Those are the things that I really struggle with because I need to focus on them and I can't do that when the kids are running around.

I work full time outside the home now. I miss those days when I was home part time and my kids were in school. I can never catch up anymore.

Haha I am 36 weeks pregnant and feeling the stress game hard. Baby number 4 and so much on my plate. But I totally agree just focusing on being grateful and spending just a bit more time trying to find laughter either with my kids or spouse we all need it. Thanks for the video and God bless u and your family !

YOU have the most gorgeous hair!!

Oh man! Brittany, you always seem to come through! I'm currently stressing bc hubby, and I started a business, and my prospective clients aren't biting fully. I'm destressing by watching KZread videos 😅. I love watching other moms on the struggle bus with me, so I know I'm not alone and look apparently you as well!!!

You got this! hugs!

If someone is feeling that much stress… it’s time to say NO a lot more. As a seasoned mom, you are missing out on true joy if you are this stressed out. The kids don’t need a million activities or even 2-3 of them. Your church should t demand so much time. Everyone helps with the home, not just you. Everyone does chores. Life is so short…. Say no to time sucking things and yes to living life.
