Tianna Tells

Well that didn’t go over so good… My kids you know that ones that drive me a little crazy sometimes are the funniest little people on the planet. So the break I desperately need but can’t take, well I thought I would stand my ground. So I told them I was going to take a small girls trip to Vegas for the weekend. I was like it’s happening no if ands or buts about it. Me: Hey guys’ mommy is going to take a small trip over the weekend to Vegas. Jr: Oldest son (9 years old) Yes! We're going to Vegas. Me: No just me and my friends. Zay: (8 years old) Eyes start watering for how many days. Me: I will leave on Friday come back Sunday. We will facetime all day ok? Jr: Okay while looking confused… Zay: Tears falling down his face... I don’t want you to go. Me: You will be fine you have Daddy and Jr. Zay: When you were little did you ever want to be away from your mom... for all those days (hysterically crying) Me: You can’t be serious, (saying to myself) way

I’ve got a confession to make……                      Being a mom of two young boys while finishing up my Master’s degree and working full-time is  HARD! I am walking around with a smile holding it all together, and secretly wanting a break. A break to not have to think about schedules, laundry, homework, work assignments, cleaning, and most importantly what’s for dinner? The break never happens because of mommy guilt, has this happened to you? The pressure is always on, but I did promise myself that I will dedicate at least 30 minutes to myself each day to breathe and refocus. How do you find your balance?
