Dear Mom Diary,
I am tired. I have been slacking on a lot lately. On Steemit, on my garden, on my laundry. I could just sleep for days. But as you know it, the kids won't let me and neither will the new puppy. She keeps us on our toes.
She has a lot of spunk and has a wild side to her.
So the kids. The kids, the kids, the kids... We have been taking a break from the sun by staying indoors. I am paying for that by strong attitudes and tantrums and fighting between themselves.
Well time for a change. We are heading out to the bush to visit my friend. Let the kids be in tune with nature and find their proper ways once again.
I have been wondering what other moms have been doing. How they have been surviving the heat with their children. Thinking I am not the only one who has got to be this tired. Being a mom brings on a whole new meaning to the word fatigue. What can I do? It 's hard to move. It's too hot to move. The best way to describe it would be.... You know how we try to not snore when we sleep? Well I WANT to snore. Give me that sweet sweet rest that will provide that deep sleep snoring. I don't care where I am, whether it be on those swinging chairs, floating on a thingy (my brain just stopped working) on water or in my backyard on the grass. Just please someone take my kids.
That's ok though. I have accepted to be this tired because my kids are wonderful and amazing. They all have a character that gives me purpose and to keep going.
So I am keeping this post short as my brain can't think of anything more to write about. I'm sure in due time that more will come up. Or that once I have rested I will have much to say about the things happening around me.
Also, I don't want to fall asleep while writing. I have done that before and it looks like drunk writing. I was talking to a friend through Messenger and nothing made sense.
Happy summer everyone!
I remember being unbelievably tired when the kids were little, and with that kind of exhaustion comes teary-eyed, lack of patience, and wishing for things impossible :) Hope you get some good sleep soon! And it may not seem like it now, but trust me when I say, some days seem so damn long, but in the end, the years are terribly short. <3

You are absolutely right! Still can't believe I have a 7 yr old. Sounds so weird and that my youngest will be 3??? She's still a baby to me. Years fly by like memories. Sad that not all things are remembered but the emotions are planted in the heart for eternity :)

I certainly do relate to the tired and hot part. My little dogs are terrified of storms and it stormed all night. Not much sleep for mom.
Don't even want to talk about the heat. So yeah hot tired and grumpy here.
I loved the comment lynncoyle1 made and it is so true. I had days like you are having. but now I look back and wonder where the years have gone.

That puppy looks adorable. Also, I can't imagine what that "drunk writing" must have looked like, haha.
I hope you will feel stronger soon!

LOL Drunk writing without the drinking... no hangovers in the morning lol. I wish I could remember what I wrote that time. I know it was hilarious and would have loved to add it here. Too much scrolling up in the chat conversation to find it. Thanks for the wishes :)

I am a father with one kid of 2 and a rotty very like yours! They shed bad so I know you must be hovering the floor more also. Not the child but the dog ! 😂😂😂. I bloody know how you feel. And their hair needs washing a lot more in this weather too! And then there’s the risk of sun burn . I think lots of people of tired but afraid to say they need a break of fear that someone might think you wanna leave their kids. And that’s just me ! Mammy is wrecked! We were talking the other day and we said we have a new found respect for single mothers . Don’t know how they do it .

Lmao! It could go both ways on that :D
Huge respect for single mothers! When my husband is working his long shifts and I dont see him, it is like I am a single mother in some ways. Alone with 3 kids and 3 pets. Sometimes I just dont care anymore about those damn dishes.

LOL He and Frankie are the same age. I was sitting in front of the AC the other day, Frankie was just stuck to me. She fell asleep and when I brought her to bed I noticed she had drooled all over me lol. This heat is making all kids quite sleepy but they wont sleep so they get cranky. Wooo summer for sure.

aww that puppy!
We have been bearing dystopian apocalyptic heat... like literally all I could do was to lay on the floor... it has cooled down a bit today and enjoying a bit of breeze.
