You're only a day away.

I am totally exhausted. 

Not just physically tired, but weary of mind and soul. 

No, nothing is different today than it was yesterday, but there are times I think you just feel life more.  

And today is of those days....where I am completely overwhelmed and underwhelmed simultaneously.

Overwhelmed by
constant mess
crying and whining by one kid or another all day long
my lack of motivation
financial stress
never-ending winter
my self-loathing
how much I hate our house
guilt (for how much I hate our house when I should just be grateful to have a house at all)
illness
my extreme fear of death

Underwhelmed by
marriage
my third decade
and dare I say it....
God

Don't be afraid peeps.  I'm not giving up on any of the above.  Not even close.  I'm just keeping it real.  Even in my dismal state, there was still joy today.  I laughed.  There are no nervous breakdowns on the horizon, even though my husband is sweetly concerned. 

I'm just really tired. 

Tomorrow or the next day or sometime next week or month, I will feel refreshed, optimistic and hopeful.  

You'll just have to bear with me grumbling until then.
