A Moment for Myself Before Sleep
Before I go to sleep tonight I want to take a moment for myself. It’s not easy to be a parent. I never imagined the challenges I would have to endure with my two children. With my first, he is emerging to kindergarten this upcoming school year and yet he still has to improve on how to self-regulate. He is a bright kid but he has a difficult time with his big feelings. And my second child, it seems like I forgot a lot of things when I became a mom again, just like starting solid foods. It seems silly but it’s real, I forgot. At times can be overwhelming, exhausting and it can test your patience but being a parent is the best job of the world. As I prepare myself for this week, I want to mention that this weekend has taught me something: there will be easy days, and there will be harder days, but it's important to not give up on those hard days.
