I was in tears over lunch today. Sleep deprived. Exhausted. Husbandless for the day & night again & my lunch date was too. Our husbands work together & we just…empathized. Two, by yourself, is hard. & neither of us are very good at asking for help. Nor do we have family in town. We just go go go…until we cry. & that’s just what happens sometimes.
This week life just didn’t work.
So it was time to change.
I barely get 20 minutes during the day to myself with two babies sleeping & as I have said before, I need that downtime to recharge. I was trying to deal with my lack of alone time by finding a screen to bury my nose in to ignore the chaos around me and I was failing. So it hit me. Delete facebook from my iPhone. Check it if I feel so inclined. It is a major time sucker and I was using it to whine. Not productive. Not healthy. I feel like a better mama already. & I have real life friends I can hug & call and that just feels a million times better than anything a screen can give me sometimes. So please know any posts on the wall I’ll get to when I can. My computer is just at the bottom of my priority list right now because 15 weeks later, I am totally still in survival mode. & definitely not sleeping much.
& I am trying to let it go.
Let go of the guilt. Let go of the pressure. Let go of the internet.
Just a little bit.
This is just a season.
xoxo.
