Journaling:
Then being a mom to three boys was quite scary in the lack of time I had for myself. All three of you kept me on my toes. There wasn’t a moment of me time. No time to breathe. No time to think. And no time to keep my depression from spiraling out of control when the pressure became too much. I used to cry myself to sleep thinking I can’t do this. I can’t be a mom. There should be some kind of test for this. Why anyone would let me become a mom, not once BUT three times was a mystery to me.
Now I’m not saying it is all easy breezy at this stage. Don’t get me wrong, raising three very different and strong willed teens is still scary as all get out. I’ve just come to realize that I as long as I do the best I can and you boys know you are loved than I am rocking it in the mom department. Because let’s face it, parenting isn’t meant to be easy. We are raising the next set of human beings. There’s nothing easy about that. So I have to say, despite all the ups and downs, I think being a mom is my all-time favorite “job.”
