I’m trying to recover from an infection that evolved into a bad kidney infection I let slip honestly because I was so distracted trying to be an awesome nurse and an awesome mom. I have spent my time looking for ways to make my life simpler, get the most out of every second, prioritize my life so I can do all the things important to me… and sometimes I just can’t. And I have to be ok with that. My personality just doesn’t stop til I crash…. not healthy. This just helped me to release some of these emotions. And geeze, helps to know I’m not the only nut! Go moms for trying to do it all! But let’s also forgive ourself when we just can’t. It’s not a loss, it’s not because we aren’t good enough, or trying hard enough. We just have to be realistic. At the end of the day, time with our babies is all that really matters. Not the mess, the failed dinner, the lateness. Just our babies and partners.

The heartbreak of having to leave your child for more than 8 hours to the stress of trying to conduct a conference call with a whiny Preschooler and screaming newborn in the background. This was spot on! I’m literally nodding in agreement with every word as I sit in the barbershop waiting for my son to finish his haircut, after a full day of client work and being mom. The guilt I feel from having to leave my newborn with my mom even though I’m happy as all hell for this fresh air. It’s so hard not shedding a tear just because it feels good that someone understands. Motherhood can feel lonely as hell…in spite of daddy and grandparents pitching in. Thank you for writing this!

Everything for my little one.
