The dictionary describes pandemonium as: wild uproar or unrestrained disorder.
This is exactly how I would describe the state of my brain today.
Every once in a while...I’ll have a day like today. I don’t imagine it’s any different from any others individual. The tasks of the day build up in my brain...it becomes daunting. Even the thought of getting everyone ready and leaving the house seems overwhelming. I woke up motivated and slowly but surely...the motivation dwindled just a few hours into the day.
My husband was out golfing. I was home with the kids...okay...no problem right? Nope!
The kids were on another level today! They wouldn’t nap. They wanted constant entertainment. After the 5000th “Mommy” I felt as though I was going to lose it!
I love my kids with all my heart...and I truly believe I’m a good Mom...a good parent in general. Sometimes, however, I just need a break.
I’m here tonight to tell you...It’s okay!!
It’s okay to need a break.
It’s okay if you don’t want to play action figures...again.
It’s okay if you feel like you just need to lock yourself in the bathroom and have a good cry!
We are all human.
Sometimes I think people expect moms to be super human. We’re always suppose to keep it all together!
The truth is...parenting is tough! We could all use a vacation, a massage and a stiff drink! If you don’t lose it every once in a while...I commend you...and I’d like your secrets!
As for me, the boys are finally asleep...I’m going to enjoy my wine...and then hit the hay! Goodnight all!
