Sometimes winter can be just awful. It gets dark and dreary so early. And of course, during this part of the day, Joseph is gone at school and so it makes it the roughest part of the day.
At this point in the day, I don't have any motivation. I am also starting to get overwhelmed with all the things that I DIDN'T get done today. I wish that I could snap my fingers and have my house cleaned and my work done. I also start to get overwhelmed over the daily dinner dilemma. Although, tonight I have decided to make Three Cheese Shells. This is the first time that I have ever made them so we will see how they turn out.
I wish that I could just remove 4pm-7:30pm out of every day, especially in the winter. I know that this seems like random blabbing but I am just feeling so overwhelmed and unmotivated. I think that today is even worse because I thought some things were going to happen but they fell through. I have had two major disappointments today. I feel discouraged and almost what to throw my hands up in the air.
Does anybody else have consistent rough times of the day? How do you get over them and stay motivated?

I have recently been experiencing some mild postpartum depression, so I know exactly how it feels to have no motivation to do anything but give up. It really is so hard to think of anything that can bring you out of your slump and into the world of the living again. Part of what has helped me is to recognize it for what it is. I feel myself slipping downward, get irritable and easily upset, and tell myself, "It's just the depression." If I withdraw into myself, it gets worse and lasts longer. If I get up and do something, even something as simple as watching a movie or playing the piano or crocheting, I can sort of coast through the episode without too much difficulty. So basically, just recognize that what you are going through has an end, and all you need to do is find something to do in the meantime to help you ride the wave. I hope this may help, even if just to let you know that you're not alone.
I hear you! My rough part is mornings. I am just not a chipper morning person. I try to plan something in the morning that will make me get up and get going. Doesn't always happen though and I get frustrated a lot about not doing everything I think I need to. We add a lot of pressure on ourselves as moms, but really all our kids want is time with us. The other stuff is great, but it's just not what matters most. I try to remember that when I get down.
