I need a break and some grace!

As I sit here drinking my coffee this morning, and arguing with my 3 year old about how he cannot have a cookie for breakfast, my soul is tired. I am mentally, physically, and emotionally tired. I don’t need a nap, I need a break and some grace!

As moms we feel like we have to have our crap together all the time. We feel like we’re not allowed to want to be away from our babies. We feel like we have to have all the patience in the world and to never lose our tempers.

Well listen up y’all, I lose my temper more than I lose my phone, which for the record, is all the dang time. I have more patience now than ever before, but I’m still impatient as heck. I juggle so much on a daily basis that I drop the ball in some aspect of my life daily!

BUT- I’m doing my best mama, just like you.

We aren’t perfect, so stop feeling like you have to be. God picked YOU to be the mama to those babies. That means he thinks you are perfect for them! He knows that some days you’re going to focus more on work or cleaning the house and less on playing with your babies. But he also knows that the next day you let the dishes and laundry pile up and you play hard and cuddle away because balance is nonsense! You just have to roll with the punches and pick your battles each and every day!

So, take that break. It helps you be the best mom to your babies. Give yourself some grace. We have to have the bad days so that we appreciate the good days.

You are doing a great job, mama. I promise.
