That morning....

When you have a fight with your husband, your son is melting down, you miss a meeting, you are frustrated with extended family, you have to reach preschoolers a lesson you haven't prepared and you want to vent to the first person you see, but realize you actually don't have any friends to really be real with and vent to. Yep that's my morning.

What do you do....

When doing your best still is not good enough? When being awesome at your job means you are failing your family? Or when doing your best to be a good mommy, to your clingy for the moment child, in the 2 hrs you have after work means your husband feels left out? Or when the house is still not ready for out of town company, set to arrive in hours, because everyone has been sick and your schedule has been crazy? Or when your husband works triple the hours you do and still has to help around the house, because you can't get it all done, even though you tried? And when every day you are giving all you have got, and truly feel you are doing your best, but then find that somewhere you failed?

Today's answer: I just sit on the sofa and cry quietly, to avoid waking my sleeping child. Trying to find balance just sucks!

Mommy's Don't Need Sleep

Lane took a major fall this evening (2 hrs before bed), so now mommy is too worried to sleep. He and Daddy are sleeping just fine. I have decided that this mommy gig is NOT for the faint of heart! And although Mommy is not a midnight snacker, that string cheese, cold tater tots and granola bar I just inhaled at 1:45 am were pretty amazing!

Oh and by the way, this makes 2 out of 3 nights this weekend I have not slept thanks to my mischievous, very quick child!
