If you can be sure it is the overwhelmingmess of land and location, then I would move (maybe to an easier to maintain five or ten acres). I'm not sure how you have the property set up, but perhaps cutting down the work by having just a few acres set up for homesteading and the rest left more wild for you all to run around on would be more doable. You can cut down on trips to town if you set it up to produce all of your food. Income can come from smaller ventures that bring in more money per square foot. You may have contracts or other obstacles keeping you from doing that though.
All of the problems you have listed (mud, unusable water, roads under flooding, long drive, electricty going out) with the exception of no county road maintenance are issues I have experienced living in cities, so a move may not bring relief from a bombardment of issues. That is why I say make sure a change of location will make you happier before selling. If you find it is more life that is getting to you right now, then either on your own or with the help of family and/or a professional, it is time to start identifying the reasons why you are overwhelmed/unhappy, and to write out manageable steps to take to solve these issues.
Good luck in whatever direction you choose!
