My Special Purpose

Lately I’ve been struggling, I’m cranky, I’m a little down, I’m frustrated.

Just Be

Momma’s of littles (and not so littles), you are spending your days catering to your families, your jobs, your home and giving it your all, you are doing a great job! Give yourself a break, take some time to rest and just be.

Let them Sleep

I recently overheard a conversation between a group of moms with college age kids. They were complaining about when their kids come home to visit they sleep so much. They were frustrated and hurt, rightfully so. We have so little time with our ‘adult’ children that we want to spend as much time with them as possible.

Proud

Parenting is hard y'all. It doesn't matter what stage you're in either; from bringing them home from the hospital and trying to figure out what the heck you're supposed to be doing to toddler years where they don't listen to a dadgumn thing you say (unless it's a cuss word then they're gonna not only listen but repeat it at high volume levels at the most inopportune times).

What Happens Next

"What happens next?" The answer is "I'm not sure exactly" which is slightly terrifying to this extreme planner (who also raised an extreme planner).

Finding their Wings

It's a totally different feeling than back to college and I didn't expect that. He's a full fledged adult now, entirely independent and on his own and I'm over here wondering how the last 21 years passed by in the blink of an eye.
