Boy am I struggling!

Ok y'all, please tell me I am not the only one that feels like throwing in the towel on a semi regular basis?!?!

My husband and I sat down and watched the movie "Mom's Night Out" the other night and WOW. I was fighting back the urge to fall apart into a giant ocean of tears! I could so relate to the main character "Alyson" (come on, she even has my name!!! Mine is just spelled weird-er?) Anywhoo.....I have been struggling like never before over the last year, ever since my 5th child was born. I am so happy we named her what we did (Trulie Grace) because her name is a constant reminder to me that I so completely need God's grace.

 I struggle with chronic back, leg and foot pain, I have only averaged 1-2 hours of sleep each night for the last 8 years (Any tips for night weaning a HIGH NEEDS 15 month old who still nurses ALL NIGHT LONG? If so share your advice in the comments!! PLEASE), I don't have many Mama friends......and I really need at least one good Mama friend to talk, share and visit with at least 1-2 times a week.....I could go on, my list of complaints, struggles and frustrations go on for miles lol!
I guess the ultimate point of this post is to let other Mama's know, if you feel like locking yourself in the bathroom with chocolate so you can ignore the shocking condition of your house and the never ending demands of an army of little people......Hunny.....I feel you! You are not alone! I am really hoping I'M not alone haha! So please feel free to vent, share support, encouragement, sympathy and your own struggles and triumphs in the comments! God bless Y'all!!

Love, Allicen <3
