Tired As A Mother

View Original

Am I Crazy?

I must be…just a little bit crazy. I made a very spontaneous decision to start a blog. Up until two days ago, every email I wrote…every Christmas gift purchased…any social media updates…or Young Living member sign-ups…was done from my phone. Something big and inspiring has come over me in the last few months, and I decided to roll with it.

So it goes in life. Either you take a leap of faith, or you sit back and always wish that you had. I guess I was getting a little tired of feeling that way. Unsatisfied. Not AT ALL with anyone or anything in my life…but unhappy with how I was feeling about myself and how I was (or wasn’t) completely living out my purpose—to serve others.

Here I sit, wrapping my head around the fact that motherhood in and of itself is taxing. Most days, I have nothing left…not even enough to walk my ass to the sink and wash my face. I mean I LITERALLY had to pull over on 610 yesterday during rush hour traffic, put my hazards on, and cry…because I tried to take my two babies to see Santa during lunch time/nap time. I honestly don’t know why I felt so invincible. How the hell am I supposed care for and nurture the hearts and happiness of my husband and children, when I I can barely manage to stay on top of my own wellness and happiness? And now I want to shave off another 2+ hours of sleep to update the world about life and motherhood?

YES! I do. Because the inspiration and encouragement I have recieved in these past 4 months is enough for me to realize that it’s good for me…and it’s good for OTHERS! So my very first blog post to just to let you know that I’m excited AS A MOTHER to be doing this. And I’m nervous AF. Stay tuned…this is going to take some time and practice.
