Have you ever "LOST" your Mojo? (Updated)

I am TIRED. Have you ever been TIRED as a mother? I am NOT saying, tired of being a mom (even though it's possible to feel like that too!), but right now I am asking, "Have you ever been just TIRED because of all the things that come along with being the responsible MOTHER (& wife)?"


What did you do to get your mojo back? How long did you say in that slump? Could your kids tell? Could your husband tell? What would you do when no one was around? Lately my energy level is not there. I am pooped. I still go where I need to go and take care of my responsibilities, but after that I am singing the praises of the bed or the couch. I just want to sit and look at the wall. I know that is crazy to say, but I either need a VACATION or a BREAK. I started back taking my vitamins, not sure if that is going to make a difference. Have you ever felt just drained?

Update: I took a break from LIFE September - December. Meaning, I didn't do any outside activites (except when I got the call to be an extra on Tyler Perry's House of Payne & BET's The Game!! Couldn't miss that!) But anything else, NO! I went to work, came home, did the WIFE & MOM thing. And once the kids were off to bed. I was on the couch relaxing! All my activities, I put on hold. I even closed my facebook account! I wanted to revamp! Revive myself. And honestly in January, I wasn't ready to come back to LIFE (so to speak) but I know I needed to because I have responsibilities outside of being a wife & mother. I do feel so much better even though, I was just telling my husband I am still tired. I am not even doing as much as I was but I already want a break. I think it's because working a FT job & being a MOM (&WIFE) is already time consuming - but mix in ALL THE EXTRAS - it's alot. I think it takes good time management and the discipline to say NO!

I totally get that! I've been exhausted for quite some time now. I could go to bed at 8:30 but I want to spend time with my family. I think I'll start taking my vitamins again too now!! But it didn't seem to make a difference before. We'll see...
