It's 10:40. It's the first time I've had the chance to use the bathroom. Still ko time for breakfast.
Morning was a haze of feeding kids, feeding and changing newborn, again and again, refereeing fights. Dh sick in bed and can't help me.
We have no pesach groceries- no deliveries have come through. I tried multiple stores.
Aaaarrregggggh
And all this talk about how we must do teshuvah and daven--- how??!??? I have no energy or time left!!!!!!!!!

The call to daven was for your sick husband and kids. You take care of yourself first.

And you can still daven. Davening is not only from a siddur...sometimes the best tefillos are the quiet heartfelt pleas we make as we go about our day.

I don't even have the emotional strength for that. There's so much to ask for I don't know where to begin. All I can say is: thank You Hashem, please Hashem, and Moshiach berachamim now!

Ok I was able to eat a bowl of cereal. Currently wheeling baby back and forth.

That is a beautiful prayer.

I feel like I’m so numb that can’t daven either.

Dovid Hamelech said, VaAni Tefilasi. My life itself is prayer. You are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. Take care of yourself so you can do it effectively. This is your avoda now. Hugs, and hatzlacha!
