I am in a funk!
I am in a stay at home, watch tv and cruise facebook all day kind of funk.
I am in a workout and eat right funk.
I am in a "I don't like my post baby body" funk.
I am in a mom funk.
I am in a wife funk.
I am in a find joy in the small things funk.
I am in a funk!
*The word funk is starting to look funky*
I have been in and out of this funk for about 10 months now, I guess it started around the time I found out I was pregnant with number 4. I did not want a 4th baby, but there was nothing I could change at that point. I never had a number in my mind of how many kids I wanted, but I felt overwhelmed and stressed the moment I heard I was going to have 4. I thought I had it figured out with 3. Two girls and one boy, that was perfect for me, that was my completed family, or so I thought. God had other plans for me. I couldn't (and still don't) understand why I am meant to have 4 kids.
Don't get me wrong, I love my kids with every ounce of my being, but lately I am finding it hard to find the joy.
I don't laugh like I used to.
I don't love on my older girls like I used to.
I don't engage with Brayden like I should.
I send my kids off to play away from me.
I yell, I am easy aggravated, I roll my eyes,
I am an unhappy mom.
I feel like a terrible mom and I feel sorry for my kids. I find myself thinking that I would not want to have me as a mom.
There are good days, where I feel amazing, where I love being a mom to 4, where I find joy in the small things that we do together. Those moments I try to take a picture of, those moments I put on Instagram and post to facebook, those moments are just a small glimpse into my life. The funk moments, those don't make the posting cut.
I feel terrible knowing that their are women who struggle to get pregnant and want kids with every fiber of their being, and I was so disappointed and unhappy with my situation. I have to realize that this is my journey and that is just how I felt.
I have to find a way to snap out of my funk, to find my zest for life again, to find joy in my kids and my husband, to figure out my destiny in life.

I'm just now catching up, I'm so sorry you're feeling that way! I really hope things will turn around for you soon. I know how awful that feeling is, and it feels like you can't do anything about it.
((hugs))
