Do you wake up most days already tired from just thinking about the work ahead? Packing lunches, cleaning the kitchen, getting the kids out the door and on the bus? Do you then rush to work or have other little ones to watch? Getting alone time or even just a minute to yourself looks like a quick stop at the bathroom?
And even then, you may be interrupted by tiny childrens demands or screams? Then the afternoon looks like chaos as the kids get off the bus, releasing pent up energy from trying to keep it together all day at school? Homework needs to be done, perhaps practicing an instrument or rushing off to the next kid’s activity? Did you even remember to plan and or make dinner?
If this sounds similar to your endless days, you are not alone. Moms everywhere are trying to live to society’s standards of perfection and in the process abandoning themselves for everyone else.
It’s time to feel confident and comfortable in your life as a Mother. You are not JUST a Mom. You are so much more than that. You deserve just as much attention and love as you give to everyone else in your life.
