So this week my body decided to hate me. Literally at the worst time. I have deadlines at work, baseball with my son, daughter has a fun day at school. Dinner doesn't stop, house doesn't clean itself. All put on hold. How is it that I can avoid getting COVID, Flu, strep, 5th disease, but a virus has knocked me to my knees? I have wanted a vacation, but not this way. The struggle is real as a mom who is having to do have so many roles. Life never seems to slow down. You can feel pulled in so many directions and your many hats seemed to be more of a circling tornado than what your roles have. Crawling into my shelter (my bed) to take refuge . The hard part is realizing that I may have more to do with causing the tornado than I want to admit. I am running in so many places not slowing down. Not listening to others or myself to take a break. So to all the moms who are on the It took a virus to make me brake, we need to do better. But how? I wish I could make everything be balanced. I wish I always had 100% for everyone and everything. I know, preaching to the choir. But, seriously how can we do better? What are some things that have helped you? Share your thoughts and your stories. Let's discuss this together. I will leave you with one little word of wisdom.... Forgive yourself as well as others. You deserve that too.
