I so relate to that sense of being overwhelmed but feeling the need to be the superhuman one that makes everything happen. All through my life are the voices constantly saying "I don't know how you do it all." I shouldn't have tried.

Get ready for your kids and give it some thought. Sometimes when the game isn't working you need to switch up the offense.
