Take the damn compliment already!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A friend recently told me I am looking gorgeous.

I am being selfish and it sucks!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why do we, as moms, always feel selfish when we are actually doing something for ourselves? We have this guilt that hangs around our necks and we feel like there are SO many other things we should be doing or we worry what someone else will think. We are afraid they will think we are shirking our duties or think that we don’t really need any time for ourselves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The thing is, they don’t really know anything about our situation The Thing Is, When Us, Guilt, Duties, Afraid, Something To Do, Mom

Why do I even bother?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This may be something you don't like to hear but probably something you need to hear.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having something to work towards can be exciting!

Me rushing to my mom's yesterday! . . Willa, my oldest, has been experiencing anxiety recently and my little girl who has never, ever been a mama's girl, is suddenly in tears over me doing simple things like going to the bathroom. . . We're working on it and do plan to take her to a therapist, but oh man! I've never had anxiety myself so I can't relate.
