One of those weeks

Do you ever feel like it is just one of those days? You wake up not feeling fully rested, your kids are grumpy, and you just go throughout the day without any patience. That has been my week it seems. All week I have had a mental to do list, including a post here, but as you see it is Saturday night and here I sit. Maybe that is why I was so drawn to Mops three and a half years ago. I was a recently new full time working mother. I was trying to balance it all, my home, teaching full time, taking care of my daughter, and feeling very alone while doing so. For me, Mops became a place where I could talk with other working moms and be assured that I was doing the right thing for my family at that time. Our theme this year of MomSense: Bold • Loving • Sensible – equips moms to embrace their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style while navigating through the myriad of daily mom decisions, reminded me that yes, I might have a rough week, and yes, our family might be different than my friends, but we are all doing what is best for our own kids. Now that I stay home, there are all new pressures, issues, and difficulties, but I honestly love every minute of my chaotic week. Just for a good reminder I watched Anita Renfroe's Mom video and thought others might like it as well.







I hope that on Tuesday nights you are able to sit, have meaningful conversation, and feel a part of a community of moms who support and love you for who you are.
