Like, dreams of someday getting a new car or new furniture feel fairly safe, but what about big dreams? Really big dreams. Things you aren’t quite sure you even deserve…hello, Imposter Syndrome.
Today I have been the mean mom, the tired mom, the overwhelmed mom, the anxious mom, the impatient mom, and the want-to-turn-in-my-mom-card mom.
I’m sitting here, two kids way past done with potty training, and I’m crying over diapers.
This is such a weird time. Social What?? Sheltering-in-Place? No TP left? Hand sanitizer a thing of the past? Everything is closed?

I’m teaching myself how to play the guitar. Don’t get me wrong, I have no illusions that I’ll front a grammy-winning rock band anytime in the future. I just want to be able to play some chords along with songs I like.
Who’s tired? Who’s stressed? Any takers?
Who feels like they desperately need to take time to take care of themselves, but each day gets filled up with work, kids, chores, “have-tos,” and the general chaos of life?
Who feels like there’s never enough time in the day, so you keep doing the daily grind and wind up at the end of the week with nothing left to give and have to start the new week and do the same thing over and over again with an empty tank?
It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s easy to get stuck. I think it’s safe to say most of us have been there.
Did you know that it’s still possible to get self-care and get rid of some stress, even with a full schedule? Just a couple minutes can give you the rejuvenation and calm you’re craving. Best part? Most of them won’t cost you a dime.
