I'm All Tired Out

I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life.  I'm exhausted.  I work basically 5 days a week.  On the days that I'm off, I work from home.  On the days that I work at work, I come home and feel completely drained and I still have to clean, cook and put the kiddos to bed.  By the time I get to sleep it's around 11:30 and then I have to wake up at 1:00am, 3:00am and 5:00am to feed or comfort a crying Teo who we're trying to get to sleep straight in his crib.  Even if I were to sleep with him in our bed he would be rolling and kicking me in the stomach or head or face.  It's a lose-lose situation every night.  And on the sad side, I work when Joel is off, and when Joel works I'm off.  So I get to spend about 2 hours every night with my husband, and every other weekend we have with the kids.  It's a busy life, and November is flying by.  This week both kids are sick.  Teo is teething and Joba has a runny nose, which makes them both incredibly cranky and clingy.  It's very frustrating and exhausting and tiring and stressful and I just want to sleep!!!
     I guess the moral of the story is two kids are extremely tiring, but I'm still getting by.  Each day comes and goes and I'm still standing.  God gives me strength every day to handle all the tantrums and when He knows that I'm reaching my breaking point the kids are quiet and calm and give me time to nap or recuperate from the previous tantrum day.
      Troubles and hard times are always there.  Exhausting and stressful days are always there, and the only way to avoid them is to not let them get the better of you.  Ask God throughout your day for help.  Ask Him for strength and guidance and patience.  Don't take all your stresses out on anyone else because you cause your own stress.  The only thing that will take away your stress and exhaustion is God, so ask Him for help.  Have faith that He is in control and He is always watching and is always there willing and waiting for you to ask Him for help and guidance.  You are never alone in this world.  You're not the only one experiencing pain, sorrow, stress, exhaustion.  God is there, watching and waiting for you to just ask.
