moms help

It is 11:30 p.m and I can hear my daughter moving around her bed while she sleeps, I forget how quiet the house can be when kids are sleeping. Have you ever been so exhausted that all you want so bad is to go to sleep and when that moment finally comes all your mind does is puke all those deep thoughts followed by a to do list and so on that you end up going down this rabbit hole and now your wide awake while everyone around you is sound asleep. the story of what i am currently living #thestruggleisreal

     I love being a mom and having one child to take care of was not bad at all. you tend to catch on pretty quick and they have all your attention , right. despite the complications of my health i was still able to enjoy her and lover her every minute. Then we decided to try for another after 2 years giving us enough time to treat my cancer and enjoy her.They say it takes a village to raise a child, well, i forgot i had left my village behind ugh...what was i thinking? that was the problem i wasn't. oh boy am i dealing with it now. i love my children and being with them all day is AMAZING but i am out number. It is hard to give them both attention specially when one is draining me night and day with no breaks. It is hard to get back in the groove with two children specially when one does not take naps anymore and the other is still in sleep training. it seems to get worse as he gets older, how is that possible? which explains my difficulties in finding time for anything else.

    My goal everyday is to try something new and see if it works from working in my office to getting them into a flexible routine etc. I have come to realize that the best time to have me time and get things done is at night while everyone sleeps and the house is quiet. i wish i too can be dreaming away. To all the moms out there please share in the comments with me what works for you as far as a routine? i love to hear from y'all
