Some days you will feel defeated. Some days you will feel helpless. Some days you will feel fed up! •

They’ll tell you, “you’ll wish these days would come back” you standing there with your hair in a mess, your eyes like those of a raccoon, wearing the same yoga pants for the third day. Thinking to yourself ya right! But let me tell you, me, myself, in the midst of all of this, yoga pants, raccoon eyes and all.. my kids not even in their teens, but I do wish time would slow down for a bit. Only when they’re not driving me crazy. •
Your life did not end mama, though it surely feels like that, just take a deep breath and don’t let it consume you. Remember it’s just a pause button. You will get your time.
