I made this discovery the other day with the help of my husband... Moms are weird. I know I didn't have to group other moms into this phrase but I also know that I'm not alone in this, so why isolate myself?
You see, at the end of a day, we are exhausted, right? We want a break and a little time to reboot. At least I do. I love staying home with my little guy, but it is tiring! So you'd think we would be thrilled at the thought of an EXTENDED break, right? Like an entire day or over night even? Maybe some moms are, but I know a lot of us aren't, because it's too hard to leave our babies for that long. I'm not saying I never do it, I certainly do. I think it's healthy, but it's hard! Case in point, moms are weird:-) We are confused beings who long for breaks and hate having to take them.
The past few weeks have been long at times because my husband has a strange work schedule. There will be weeks that he's gone most evenings and weeks where is home more often than not, day and night. I love the 2nd option, and the first is a bit harder, especially when it's teething and "I have a cold" time, which has been lately. Going along with this, I have been crazy busy lately and have had to leave Carter 5 times last week, and will have to three 3 times this week before Thursday. You'd think this would even out and I'd be thankful for the breaks, but no... I hate them. So here is my confession: I am a weird mom.
About Me
- Real Life Mommy
- Let's start out by saying, I'm not a writer. I did not go to school for journalism, nor did I even take any extra writing classes. What you see here is what I learned in your basic high school English classes. I actually majored in Music Business, which did nothing to equip me for writing a blog. I'm a stay at home mom of one 18 month old little boy and he is my world. I am not, nor have I ever been one of those people who reads all of the books, or goes to conferences, or keeps up with the latest parenting trends. I am, however, your normal, young, learn-as-you-go mother who delights in the challenges and can look at life as a collection of moments (often entertaining moments) that create an unpredictable, unforgettable, and unmatchable journey. As I stated in my first post, the glorious struggles, embarrassing moments, joyous successes, and stressful days of being a mom are felt by every single mother, perfect or not, so let’s share, laugh, learn, scream, smile, and cry together.
my kids have never been out of my site.. so I guess I'm weird now too..
