Pat yourself on the back

For all of my working parents, grandparents and caretakers of little ones. Please take some time and just acknowledge yourself today. You work full time, and still have energy to tend to your household at the end of the day. Just pat yourself on the back. Because you like myself are probably wondering how the hell we do it at the end of it all.

We get so focused on making sure everything is okay with our family and everyone else and often forget ourselves. Being a parent makes you so selfless and it’s a beautiful thing but in turn we neglect the one doing the muscle work. When you finally have your time out? What is your go to? Mine is simple I guess. I wake up very early and I like to find a nice show to watch or just clean my house uninterrupted. Sometimes I may even have a sip of wine.

I just wanted to take this tough grumpy Monday and turn it into a positive one. So please parents who are probably as mad as I was last night leaving my daughter for work. Just know your hard work is appreciated and please just pat yourself on the back! Have a good day!
