In case you were wondering, #mombie (mom + zombie) is legit. Even as a stay/work-at-home-mom, why I am so tired, you ask? Scary Mommy’s article gives a glimpse at to why moms are so tired even after getting some rest. I felt some relief to read this article and realized that I am not the only one. I am not the only one who’s mind is constantly spinning. What about this, what about that, did I remember to do this, don’t forget to do this later…’round and ’round we go.
Here’s a glimpse of what my mind has been spinning about lately:
- when will my daughter be potty-trained?
- what if she’s not potty-trained by the time she’s supposed to start preschool?
- why is my daughter all about oli and hula at kula (school), but not at papa hula (hula class)?
- maybe I shouldn’t have scolded her the way I did.
- maybe I should be more strict.
- when am I going to get a break?
- when will baby take to a bottle?
- did I pay the internet bill?
- do we have enough funds to pay for “x”?
- when is that due again?
- I need to schedule that appointment.
- why is this house such a mess?
- why do I bother doing the laundry? what happens if I stopped doing the laundry?
- and of course, the daily question: what’s for dinner?
What has been occupying your mind? How do you manage this spinning? Deep breathing? Exercising? Writing a list? Help a māmā out!!!
