Hard Parts
My girls are both a little under the weather. Cadence has been stuffy-nosed since the night before last, poor baby, and Amaris started working on a fever last night. Today has been a sleepy day here at home.
Juggling the girls and their individual needs has been difficult, undeniably, but I have to admit that at this point in the day, I am feeling extremely accomplished that I've managed to do it and have still managed to get a few other things done on top of that - for example: actual meals for Amaris and me, a load of laundry, and I scrubbed the shower down.
I feel like Wonder Woman right now. I hate that my kids don't feel 100%, and it is making me incredibly sad, but I feel like I am overcoming it and handling it on my own as best I can and I'm proud of myself.
I'm running on less sleep than I'd like and I've got a sad heart... But for the first time, I feel like a real live mother. I'm doing my job. And in this moment, I don't care if I never have a paying job again.

I dream of having your job! You are doing great at it, too. :)
