To the put together lady who walked into Burger King today: for a moment I was envious of you and your styled hair, dress pants, and high heeled shoes. I've been pouring from an empty cup for so long, I can barely remember what it is like to wear something other than workout pants and a messy bun. My hands haven't seen a nail salon in so long, they may go into shock if they ever experience one again. I was sitting here, in the otherwise empty play area, envious of you, and wondering if it would be bad parenting to take a nap while my kids played. Then this happened. All three of my kids, smiles and giggles, gathered around me for a picture. The first time in a long time there have been smiles instead of bickering and whining. I may not be put together, and sometimes I might even miss the woman who was, but for now, I'll embrace these rare moments, and pray for joy instead of weariness. #wellofaith #parenting #anxiety #ohlenirae #ohkaleakat #ohvantheman #motherhood #parentingisexhausting

You Could Say I'm Hard to Hold

Frequently I feel like mothering a thirteen year old girl is like being in an emotionally abusive relationship, except that you are legally bound not to leave.

Ways I steal sleep

1) put on a movie, I sleep on the couch 2) kids fall asleep in the car, I doze in the drivers seat 3) beg, bribe, and blackmail my husband to get up with them 4) the iPad. Just take it and go. Please. 5) a bedtime that most 8 year olds would complain about 6) I moved the snacks to a drawer they can reach. Sometimes my bed isn’t their first stop in the morning, and you can’t really eat too many goldfish crackers, can you? 7) nap time. Everyday. No matter what.

After a horrible errand run, which was cut short because of behavior, I made people write apology letters. #parentingisexhausting (Taken with Instagram)

This is definitely my mindset right now. #wellofaith #parentingisexhausting #pregnancy #NoVA2018
