Some days, I just need a mom break…

A day to check out.
A day to stop being needed.
A day to not answer every. single. question.

A day to myself.
A day to escape.
A day to self care.

Some days, I just need a mom break…

A break because I’m breaking.
I’m cracking.
I’m falling apart at the seams.

I’m mentally depleted.
My brain is on empty.
My emotions are spiraling.
My body has started shutting down.

I’m short.
I’m snappy.
I’m tired. I’m so FREAKIN’ tired.

I’m not happy.
So no one is happy.
Because moms hold the happiness.

Moms give the love and create the whole home with it.
We give and give and give some more.

Some days, I just need a mom break.

I need to rest.
I need to recharge.
I need to find peace within me.

Because there is no doubt I love my kids, but some days I just need a mom break so I can give them all of that love.
