These days have been busy. Actually, that’s an
understatement. These days have been…insane. I absolutely love my new job and
the new and exciting responsibilities that I have. It’s been amazing absorbing
this new role of mine and learning new things every day. I honestly don’t think
I’ve ever been this passionate about work. However, that being said, it has definitely
been hard to shut off from work once I’m home and focus my attention on the
important people in my life.
My kids definitely notice that I’m working more- Belles
especially. Just last night she said, “I feel angry sometimes when you’re
working so much, but I still love you Mom”. Nice, huh? And Keaton expresses his
frustration as much as he can for an almost 2 year old- mostly it’s exasperated
whining while clinging to my legs and asking me to “Ma! Sit Down!” while
holding his favourite Trucks book and waiting for me to read it to him.
But I’m definitely trying. I’m trying to balance my new-found
passion for work with my little loves at home who need my attention and
encouragement, while also balancing time with my husband who has been
ridiculously understanding of the fact that I now seem to be glued to my phone
as I’m constantly checking emails at all hours of the day to make sure I’m not
missing anything. And I’m also still trying to balance some time for myself- time
away from it all to just focus on strengthening myself- my body, my mind…just trying
to find the balance of it all.
But through all of the balancing and juggling, I’m so
grateful. Grateful for an understanding and patient husband, and amazing kids
who love me amidst the chaos.
I am so looking forward to this weekend. I’m looking forward
to celebrating Mother’s Day with my little family and celebrating all of the
Moms who I know, love and admire who also manage to juggle it all.
To say that it’s hard to be a Mom is an understatement. But
it’s such a privilege to be blessed with such amazing little beings who make
the chaos of it all completely worth it.
Wishing all of the Moms that I know and love, a truly
amazing Mother’s Day.
