Balance

Dear Ziggy,

You might think I’m taking some kind of happy pill over here, what with all the positivity and rainbows all the time. Well, I’m not. And it’s not always sunshine and puppies and children skipping rope. Some days are really hard. Some nights you are on my last nerve by the time your Dada gets home from work.

I love you and I love being your Mom. But every now and then I need a little break. I’ve been trying to take some chunks of time for myself here and there but I always feel guilty. I took a few books out of the library hoping I’d get to read them before they are due. So far, it’s not looking good.

Life is about balance. I’m still trying to find it. I think it’s going to be a while before I have it all figured out. I hope you’ll bear with me.

Love always,
Mommy
