Just need a little vent and pick me up from another mama.
With two littles (3.5 & 8 months) very seldom are any days revolved around what I want to do, or how I’m feeling, which doesn’t bother me because it’s part of being a parent. However occasionally I need a couple hours to myself just to unwind and have a quiet thought.
It’s just been one of those days already. From the moment I’ve gotten up I’ve been engrossed by children, chores, meals, when I had the idea in my head it was going to be a day for some recharge for myself. This hasn’t been anyone’s fault, it’s just how the day has played out.
I’m feeling burnt out, defeated, and just really emotional which I tend to end up expressing through irritability and lack of patience. I could use a pep talk to get through the day and maybe a mindset shift. ❤️
