I have so much to think about that I am ready to burst. So I am going to burst on my blog and then hope people can organize my messy thoughts and offer some helpful insight.
We bought a house. We have not sold our house yet! Stressful financially.
We don't close on our house until after Merilee starts school. She will miss her fist day of Kindergarten! Not okay with me!
I will have 2 houses to get in perfect condition..one to live in and one to sell.
I have the motivation and boxes to start packing but I have pretty much packed up non essentials, so we would be living out of boxes for a while, which is okay unless our house has a showing.
My kids are very needy right now. I hear a lot of "mommy, I want you" and lots of crying. Holland can't be put down and honestly, I don't want to carry him or have him tied to me all the time. I am struggling with the "I feel fat and ugly" thing right now because I have NO time to exercise and I eat when stressed.
As I type this, I feel like I am wasting time and it makes me what to cry....speaking of crying, Holland is awake, so there goes my nap!

Oh, I am so sorry! I've never been in your exact situation, but I feel you on so many of your issues. I love being a mommy, but there are times when it is so trying. It always seems that at the worst times, children NEED so much. I think they sense the stress and need reassurance...not that it is ok...it makes everything SO much worse and you're having to carry their stress and yours. Things will work out. Time and the Lord will help things fall into place. I know little ones are so consuming. I feel like I'm attached to Emme and it is exhausting. I know moving in itself is stressful and to add all of your other pressures...uggh. If I was there I would offer you hugs (and babysitting :) ). This will pass, Leighann, and things will get better. Just know that I hear you and feel for you. Hang in there!
Just thought I'd stop in to say hi and now I wish I could literally stop by to give you a hug. You need to call in reinforcements and realized that although you probably could do everything all on your own, it isn't healthy to. Weather it is your family, friends or church... ask for help. Meals? Babysitting? Packing? Think of what would be the most help and ask! Most times people are willing to help, but don't know what to do unless they are told. You have so much more to deal with than is normal! I just went through a cross country move into a two bedroom apartment with five small kids in preparation for husband to go to school that we aren't sure we can finance while potty training and with a baby that won't sleep through the night... I understand overwhelmed. Please, don't do this alone! You're amazing, and even if we are fat and ugly... we are great moms and we rock... what else really matters? Love you!!!
I agree with Trisha - call in some help, girl! Your family is close, aren't they? Call them and ask for help. Ask your friends and VT, too. I know it's hard to ask for help - I don't like doing it, either - but the Lord wants for us to help others and for us to be helped, too. (((HUGS)))
Remember, "This too, shall pass."
