Why I Haven't Blogged Lately

I haven’t blogged in almost three weeks. I’m struggling. Not with anything huge or life changing, just the ordinary day to day. I’m exhausted almost all the time and I don’t know why. I’m rarely up

for the gym anymore, but fortunately, Dara pushes me to take her for a run in the mornings. I don’t have a long work day compared to most, but the hour drive each way wears on me. 

And I feel like it takes all my patience and energy to get through work, so that by the time I get home, I have little left for my family. I take vitamins, I eat healthy, I exercise. Not sure what my problem is lately. I did finally cave in and make an appointment for blood work with my doctor, so maybe that will yield an answer. It could just be that I’m a working mom and I need to suck it up and stop whining. If so, I’ll stock up on caffeine and do my best. 

I love my kids and husband. So much. I don’t want to be short with them or get frustrated so easily. But have you ever tried taking three kids (11, 3 ½, and 2) to a restaurant alone and had to wait nearly half an hour for your meal? They were trying to be good, but what would you do with a salt shaker, pile of napkins, and butter packets? Ezra had a decided opinion. He used the packets as missiles- a couple landed on their targeted strangers. Cayden cried because his mac n’ cheese was hot and I wouldn’t let him salt it. Poor Micah patiently picked up every dropped fork and spilled sippy cup. 

This is an incredibly scattered post today, but it’s very representative of how I’m feeling. I know other moms who are just super heroes! They work full time, have several kids, juggle sporting events, iron their husband’s clothes, and still manage to have a Pinterest worthy dinner/house. I want to be that woman! I just don’t know how. I will end this on a positive note. I have a wonderful weekend ahead- boating with the boys, time with my friend, and then out with hubby for a concert and dinner. 

Cheers to super women! 

With Love,
