The phrase I have commonly used to describe my life is, "Same crap, different day". I feel like my life is just endless days that merge together. I get no 30 minute breaks from my mind, no days off, no vacation from myself. I would give anything for a moment of sanity. My day can begin like any other. I wake up and kiss my man as he comes home from work. We are laughing and enjoying our time together. This can all be ruined in an instant. My fiance tells the kids they are slacking on their chores and I immediately feel it churning inside. What I heard him say was that I am not cleaning enough and failing as a mom because their chores are not done. Defenses go up and I begin making excuses about something that was never about me. How did I hear so clearly what you never even said? It is so up and down and back and forth.....all just one day and it is just beginning. And I know that tomorrow it will all start again.
