Hard Calls

I'm tired.

I'm tired of making the hard calls about when to wade in for my kids and when to let them fight their own battles.

I'm tired of being behind the eight ball because of circumstances beyond my control.

I'm tired of working at least 10 hour days and still being behind.

I'm tired of the house work that you finish just in time to start again.

I'm tired of making the hard calls and all the million micro-decisions I have to make every day.

I'm tired of juggling and feeling like I'm never quite enough.

I'm tired.

I try to keep this space positive, but I also promised to keep it real. I want to own it. And tomorrow will be a better day. But today, I'm giving myself permission to just be tired.
