I promise it will get easier. I have been there. I have moved 4 times in 4 years with two boys who are under 5 without family near by. I have had moments of failure and moments when I just thought wow, this is so hard.

I have heard other people say unintentionally how happy they were to sleep in while family watched their kids not knowing that might not be everyone else’s world.

I have felt guilty and all of those things you probably should not beat yourself up about.

I am here to tell you that it will get easier, and if I can do it then surely you can too. Also, you are not alone. I guarantee there are plenty of moms just like us, and we have been there in some shape or form.

Remember, people share what they want you to see on social media.

My mom told me once (okay,multiple times) that this to shall pass, and she was so right.

Keep your chin up mom and know that you are doing a great job. Make time for you even if you don’t think you deserve it. You do, and you are wonderful.

Okay, back to my elliptical work out.

Enjoy this awesome rainbow my oldest son drew.
