Surviving motherhood, chronic illnesses, the PTA & writing… one cup of coffee at a time.
The chaos in my life will help you feel better about yours.
I went up to the high school tonight with the teen to pay booster fees for the VetMed competition team. So I was passing money back and forth from the booster chair to the teacher. (I’m in a room with two teachers and some PTA-ish mom’s iykwim) So, I look from one to the other and at the booster chair, bust a laugh and say,
Not a day goes by when I don’t think of and miss my Mom. But I don’t want her mom to die. It still doesn’t make sense to my heart how I can live in a world where my Mom doesn’t exist. In some ways that has helped me understand her in ways I couldn’t when she was alive.
I love with my whole heart and when people I deeply care for or love are in need or are hurting and need someone’s hand to hold, I’ll move heaven and earth to get to them. You’re not going to get more out of me because very few actually want to know the truth- especially when you’re like me and have chronic illnesses. no, you need to hear that you’re loved and worth something, and that the people you love aren’t going anywhere. (Especially if you’re dealing with someone who has a chronic illness or autoimmune disease or really anything that’s not going to go away or go away easily.)
The bare minimum is okay. I’m okay with sometimes just being okay. It’s being okay with just being okay. And that’s okay.
