And I'm sorry it's so hard. I certainly remember those nights and even days, where I felt nearly paralyzed--and I only had 2 kids.
You will make it!
I have talked about things like manicures and pedicures over the years, because I never used to do those things. And one day, when I was on the relationship for which I came to the board, I just went out and pampered my self, and I was feeling like a really, well...one of those women who are always 'done'. I was in good shape,and the nails, just gave me a lot of confidence.
I ran into the guy and he was taken by me. The truth is could probably care less about nails. But I think it was whatever it was that I was projecting.
So if it's nails, hair, a massage, a good book, a bubble bath, new lingerie--whatever it is for you. Just do it. You are worth it. And by the way, even if nobody notices, you've got it for you.
