A little Pep talk

I have been pretty exhausted the last few days. Yesterday, I took all the kids to the Farmer's Market in town. It is a beautiful thing. We had spinach tamales. Then bought strawberries and chocolate bread. After, we went to the Dollar tree, Big Lots, and Fred Myer. It was a long day. When we got home we cranked dance music, unloaded the car and partied in the carport. By the time dinner rolled around, I was pretty zombiefied. After I put the kids the bed, I had a little pep talk with myself. Yes, this is hard! But, I am doing a really good job. I need to be proud of myself. There are people in my life now who wouldn't believe the type of person I was. It was not pretty. I was not good or kind. I did bad things. I was broken. Today, I'm a pretty damn strong woman. I own my shit. I keep my word. I always try to do the right thing. I am a superhero of a mother. I face fears. I don't fold. I try...really hard and sometimes I need to cut myself a break. A friend recently suggested I do the bare minimum for a day. Now, the bare minimum with 5 kids is still a lot. However, today we took it easy. I even took a nap. I'm feeling a little better. Ready to face another week of homeschool. Plus, my hubby is coming on Thursday. I'm excited. Happy Sunday everybody!
