I snapped. I just flew off the handle and then I picked up my sister and went to the gym. I
was venting and she said why are you sorry? You are a great mom, have a successful business, have a blog, take care of everyone and everything. It's ok to loose your sh$t once in a while. Just then the texts came pouring in...my mommy friends one by one were venting about loosing their sh$t too. I laughed and said wow it is normal.
Now I don't want to promote this because it does stink. It's not good for the mind or
body and is exhausting. The whole point is we all having breaking points. Being a mom is work. It's super rewarding but work. Add tension and other stress factors and well you can easily be set off. Lately I have been having some "me" time. Something that really I haven't gotten in a long time. It helps you take a time out and focus on yourself. Gym helps, manicures help, long drives helps, being with my sisters helps, being alone helps too. Making decisions for what you want to do or eat or go for yourself helps too. Yeah it's like an escape from reality but really should be a regular/ weekly/monthly goal you set for yourself.
I know people who have Sunday afternoons to themselves to do whatever they want solo. Not grocery shopping but reading a book or hanging on the beach alone. Alone time for YOU. Why? Because when you're good then you're good for the people who rely on you.
