White Flag of Surrender

I give up. I surrender. I wave the white flag. I didn’t know it would be this hard. I need more sleep. I need more patience. I need more cough syrup. Even my second wind is bone tired. Why did I ever think I’d be good at this? This? This mommy thing?

“Mommy?”

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

Hmmmm…Backspace. Backspace. Delete. Delete. Delete.

Moral: Every mommy needs a five minute freak out session, especially during flu season.

Tag me and I'll give you a break :) And than I gotta tag you and you gotta do my laundry???? I kid...it's the grand delusion of being a tired mommy during dinnertime...

The "Mama, I wuv you" (teary eyed with a cherry on top) gets me ALL the time. My hubby calls me a sucker.

I have many of those moments. I rant and grunt about being a mom and why did I do this to myself and they say or do something cute and I take it all back.

I hope the little bubbas are okay soon.

Oh, I hear you! It's amazing how those three (well, four) little words change it all, huh? Hope you all feel better soon!!

No matter how bad it is, it could be worse.

And it will get better.

And then you do laundry.

Just like every mommy gets five minutes of being Teh Fail every day - guilt free.

Those "I love yous" are the best and make it all worth it, huh?!

If it makes you feel any better, we all feel the same! To be honest, not a day goes by where I don't feel that way at some point. But then a hug comes, or a smile, and it makes it all worth it. That, and alcohol.

Our kids are super cute, because if they weren't we would return them after a few weeks. :)

I hope you feel better soon!
