Steph,

Sorry to hear you are going through such a rough time.  I know two-year-olds 
can be extremely trying at times.  WIll pray for you and Michelle as well as 
for an increase in your hunger for the Word.

John says in Revelation that, in order to go back to your first love, you 
should do the "first works."  That means the things you did when you first 
came to know the Lord.  This means reading the Bible even though it seems 
dry, praying when you don't feel like God ever hears, and loving others even 
when it seems impossible.  I know it's easier said than done, so hang in 
there and know we're all praying.
