Life Is, Well… Life

Some days, I’m on top of it all

 the kids, the house, the to-do lists.

Other days, I’m lucky if I remember whether I fed the dogs breakfast.

Being a parent is hard.

Being a mom is hard.

Being a stay-at-home mom whose husband is in the military, while we sit in limbo during a government shutdown and aren’t even sure if he’ll get paid… well, that’s actually kind of normal around here 😅

Have you ever been told, “Wow, I could never do it,” or “Better you than me”?

I have.

And I’ve said it, too. But lately I’ve tried to catch myself, because the truth is, none of us do it alone. I don’t ask for help often (honestly, almost never). But I always need it.

My superhero cape shines bright for my girls, but if I’m honest, it’s the same raggedy comfort blanket that’s helped me survive every day so far.

Life sucks sometimes.

Life is beautiful sometimes.

Life is… well, life.

And it’ll all be over before we know it.

So I’m trying to love it, even when it’s messy. 🌿
