- Unorganized
- Like I have a physical weight bearing down on me.

- Overwhelmed
- Sad
- Frustrated
- Sometimes discouraged
- Often judged
- Isolated in my specific mothering (in relation to those I associate with).
- Exhausted
- Blessed
- Strengthened
- Like this is a time of great learning and experience.
- Gratitude
- Love
- Often hope
- Faith
I came across this quote tonight while looking for recipe ideas on Pinterest. It was the first thing that popped up on my screen and it really resonated with me. Such a good reminder that being blessed and experiencing trails and disappointments are not mutually exclusive.
Tonight was a hard night, especially with Josh. Oliver was hard at this age (and still is but there has been growth in maturity for sure). Wendel reminded me of this the other day and it gives me a little hope. He had something tonight and when he came home and asked how bedtime went, I burst into tears. I am not the best version of myself lately. I am really struggling. As a perfectionist / overachiever, I am used to working extra hard and being able excel at my goals. I keep trying as a mother but fall short and it's so frustrating.
