Just listen! It’s worth it

psalm 46:5

CONFESSION TIME:

Literally have moms, women, friends, people on social media walk up to or message me and say “girl, I need you motivation! I am tired!!!! I see you running your business, coaching your kiddos ball teams, training, meal prepping— I wish I had the energy!” If I appear to have my shit together, that’s an illusion….

I felt all fluffy and honored but……. Girl! I feel you! I am tired too! And if you only had a clue! lol

Let me ease your mind— yes I’m doing all those things while also making sure prayers are said, kids are dressed and fed. We might be coming into school with a bit of road rage at 7:44 praying there’s a line so Miles isn’t tardy. It’s quite comical because I choose to make or that way!

Because THIS IS THE SEASON OF LIFE WE ARE IN! I’ve accepted that!

It’s currently March 23rd. I still have Christmas stuff on my kitchen table that we haven’t sat at since Christmas. My temp tags for my car I bought in November (and expired in Feb) just got changed, there’s folded socks on my couch, and I can’t keep the laundry done, Jamie pays someone to clean our house every two weeks because if not, we’d be living in a war zone. So when people are saying these things and I try to tell them I understand, believe me 💯 feel you mom! I’m not downplaying the level pure chaos I experience on the daily. There’s days I’m brushing my shoulder off like a boss and then there’s days I’m talking on my phone while I’m looking for it! Seriously!

Most would call this a HOT MESS EXPRESS… I don’t.

I do not perceive myself as a hot mess so others don’t know either… ponder on that ❤️ but here’s how I do it!

I call it present over perfect.

I call it acceptance of what is out of my control without completely stressing myself to the max.

I call it embracing the season of life my family is in.

I call it the best I can do and then I call it a day, the rest can wait until tomorrow!

Decide what’s important and prioritize accordingly!

Jesus | Family | Health | Work

Seriously, we have got to stop comparing ourselves to how together other moms or family’s appear! Chapters are never the same, seasons are unique, and nobody is perfect, you’re not failing! Now, give yourself some grace and get your shit done for the day, and tomorrow get back after it again!
