Words on paper, blurry. Objects in the distance, hazy. I squinted; it didn’t help. Thoughts come and go like ghosts, misty and barely visible. Gooey sludge racing like a snail, clogging the wheels of my brain from turning like lightning. Strange ideas pop up, then fall away; anxiety and panic ensue, turning into self doubt...Continue reading

I haven’t done one of those before. I’ll have to ask Amy. Let’s get you checked in.” I smirked at the coincidence of having the same...Continue reading

3.2.2024 02:21Comment on The Burnt Out Mom (like toast without the crust) Part 1 by The Burnt Out Mom Part 3: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – The Candid MommaIn reply to <a href="https://thecandidmomma.wordpress.com/2024/01/21/the-burnt-out-mom-like-toast-without-the-crust-part-1-2/comment-page-1/#comment-6">Evelyn Byrne</a>.
Hello Evelyn,
Thank you so much for your comment. I am grateful to hear from you! Congratulations on your new grandchild! Earth is tough, and through it all, I am glad to be here in this life connecting with others. We are so lucky to be/have been mothers that stay(ed) home with their child(ren). It is a blessing to see my sweet little girl every hour of every day, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Though it’s hard to hear the critics, it is also good to be guided to those who have similar values and have the gift of their support. I may not have support in person on a regular basis (aside from Sophie’s wonderful father), connection and relatability even just online helps to not feel so alone. I, too, pray for families everywhere. My hope is that sharing my thoughts and experiences can help others to not feel so alone or hopeless. Societal expectations of mothers, and parents, are distorted and unrealistic at times. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your little ones
