Doldrums/Momdrums
Nobody prepares you for motherhood. Try as I may, I still am struggling with all of it. I think it's the monotony of the everyday stuff. When I worked full time, I had a major sense of accomplishment. Hair is a creative industry and you definately see the final outcome. But motherhood in all it's glory, well it never seems like I have it all together. It reminds me of Groundhog Day the movie, which I hated and Cecil loves. Just when I think the kids are good and the house is clean, food is prepared, it all unravels at once. I got up this morning and thought, I just vacuumed, I just did dishes, I just did laundry, the kids are already dirty. What is going on????? Everyone says you blink and they are off to college, so I'll just be ever so grateful that I'm able to stay home with these little people and realize that the house is never going to be as clean as it was when there were no little ones roaming around in it. And tomorrow I'll wake up and do it all over again with a smile on my face.

I hear ya sista and I only have one haha. I have had a career where I was praised everyday for my great job, and now, I get screams and crying. It has its rewarding moments, but it is also very challenging. But you are an awesome mom and you always have a positive attitude and smile on your face and I hope I can have the great attitude you have when I have 3 kids!
You may have heard the saying "The days go slow, but the years go fast." So true, so true!! I'm sure you're trying to embrace every singe day and enjoy it all before they're grown up, but that doesn't diminish how hard it is each and every day--parenthood is relentless!! Just know you are doing a great work, even though it may not feel so great at times. Keep on keepin' on!!
