Parenthood

I saw this chart and I don't think I've ever related so much to something in my life. Parenthood has been rough. I knew going into it how much work is it to be a parent, I knew I wouldn't be getting much sleep, but damn it I expected to at least get use to the everyday exhaustion! Not just physically exhausted, but mentally as well.  The mental load mothers deal with on a daily basis is never ending and then you add 5 hours of sleep, cranky kids, and butt load load of chores, sometimes you just it's takes a toll on your mental health. There are days that caffeine doesn't even work, which is something I have to consume on a daily basis. The thing that keeps me going? My kids. They are the reason I get out of bed every morning and keep on going. Because even when I'm tired, or had a bad day, I still have kids I need to take care of. Mom's don't get a day off, not matter what they are feeling.

Been awhile

I realize it's been well over a year since writing. I use to enjoy doing it and definitely miss it so I want to try and make time to start my blog back up. I made this blog a long time ago, and through out the years I've wrote about many things, the most recent one was following my pregnancy and a monthly blog update of the girls. Now I want to write about true and real stories of being a mom. Some of the things I want to talk about are:

• Becoming a mom: the good, bad and ugly
• Raising twins
• Transitioning from a stay at home mom to a working mom
• Dealing with anxiety and post-partum depression (and how no one talks about it)
• Recovering from a traumatic birth
• Post-partum weight loss 

All my posts are going to honest and raw, and may make people uncomfortable to hear. But I feel it's important to talk about the things, I wish people would have told me about before becoming a mom. You always here about the happy and good things about motherhood. How most of the time people use social media to hide behind the reality of what it's really like being a mom. I look forward to writing all my thoughts down and I hope that they help other moms along the way.

Are you ready?
