I think the hardest thing to do is ask for specific help. I think when everyone asks "what can I do" we often say nothing or say don't worry about it. Why are we so shy to admit we may need someone to help us at home, do some laundry, pick up some milk at the store, take the kids for an hour. I think the best thing we can do is say YES! and not be embarrassed or shy.

I think often when faced with crisis we work so hard to be okay and get through it, that saying we need a break or a day off is hard, an admission of defeat.

So today I am going to say yes I need help to get through these times and be okay with that.
