I know I’m not the only one to feel like this.

I have so much stress and pressure on me that I feel like I am going to break. But I have to keep it together for my family. And I WILL keep it together because after a quick anger/cry session, I take a deep breath, push my feelings down and then continue being the mom and wife I’m supposed to be. Not the scared, worried, stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, selfish person I want to be.

I would love to just sit in front of the TV and play video games or hide in a corner and read all day to avoid thinking about what is going on in my life. But I cant. I have to cook, clean, take care of a baby, take care of, feed, train 2 puppies and an older dog, I have to worry about making it home before my grandfather dies so he can see his first and only great grandchild.

But I do all that, and worry about everyone because that’s my job. I keep everyone alive and semi organized because I love my crazy family and would do anything for them. But I cant help but wish for an evening all alone, without interruption, for me to just be me for a change.

Sometimes I dont want to be a mom. Sometimes I dont want to be a wife, or a maid, or cook, or secretary. I need a break sometimes, and i know other moms feel the same. we love our families to death but it gets overwhelming at times.

All I gotta say is-

Stay strong mamas, life may be crazy, but we got this. we are superheroes in the eyes of our children. Superheroes never break and never give up.

Thanks for joining me!
