You're enough, mama

Mama, you're tired.

You're tired of trying to do it all and you feel as if you're failing. You can't keep up with anything, because you're trying to keep up with everything.

You're tired, you're rushed, you're spread too thin, and you're down right exhausted.

You're struggling with keeping it all together. Getting the kids where they should be, getting folders signed, getting everything sent back to school that needs to go back, getting kids to and from practice, keeping up with where every item is your house, all while you work and you feel as if you can't.

You feel as if you can't catch up.

But mama, YOU ARE ENOUGH.

You're more than enough.

You feel as if no one sees it, but they do. They see you doing it all. They may not give you any praise or thank yous, but they'd fail without you.

Succeed or fail, they see you as a mama. A mama who is jumping through leaps and bounds to keep everything going for her family.

Don't give up. You're enough, mama.

    All Mama's are enough! My mother just passed away on June 6th, 2020. My mother was an amazing woman. She would walk through fire to make sure we were okay but most importantly, she made sure we were loved! We have so many great and wonderful memories! I miss her so much!!!

The Season is Over

Image
As of last night, the season is over. We can attempt to get back into a normal routine and have dinner at a decent hour. No more double checking to see if uniforms are washed, socks are dry, and hats are kept up with because baseball/softball season is over. One more uniform wash and I'm done. Excitement & relief overcome me when I think about a normal afternoon of rest, but a sense of sadness immediately follows.  I know one day it'll be the last time I wash that uniform, the last time I attempt to get that dang belt out of those loops, and the last time I'll frantically search for a specific hat.  I almost feel guilty that it's over. There are only so many spring seasons until he/she either looses their love for the sport or is too old to play. I feel guilty for all those times I hoped for rain because I just wanted a night home. I dread the day that I don't see that little yellow helmet out on that field.  So for now, I'll quit c

IN SEARCH OF : Friends, real ones

Almost 30 year old parents looking for other parents willing to let their/our kids destroy their house while we attempt to watch a ball game and stuff our faces. No worries, we'll let your kids destroy our house too. Dad enjoys playing with electricity, building stuff, and shooting guns. Mom enjoys singing Brittney Spears songs to the top of her lungs, wrangling children, and threatening their lives before we go in public. 2 children under 5 ______________________________________________________________________________ Why is it almost unheard of for people to have face to face friends? Has social media taken away the place of having real relationships? We literally only see the people we work with and attend church with. It has been that way for a long time. People don't have friends or acquaintances anymore. My oldest child is 5 and I honestly can't remember the last time we've done something with "friends." We may run into the occasional old f

Take The Trip

It ’s still pretty early in summer, so for those of you thinking of taking your family on vacation but you’re not 100% sure, take the trip. You may worry about  money, finances, work days missed, kids behavior, etc, but don’t. Just do it. Take the trip. A few years ago during a funeral visitation, I remember walking up to a casket to a grieving husband, friend, father. He left my husband and I with words we’ll never forget and since then we have lived those words. He told us no matter what, when it’s all said and done, you need memories because sometimes that’s all you have left. You need to take those trips with your kids. Every single one you talk about. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, just take the trip. Even if it’s just for a couple of days, take the trip. You can make more money. You may not get the opportunity to make more memories. When your kids are older, that’s what you have left. On our trip we’ve laughed, had fun, slept very little, watched our kids fall to
