I'm just going to be real! Being a mom is hard and sometimes I feel like just running away!
No I would never do that I couldn't imagine leaving my family and I wouldn't want to run away from my children just the stress of them! Run away from "life" you all know you have had the thought of just wanting to escape reality for a bit. With 3 kids it's not so easy to just take time and relax.
Here lately I started grocery shopping on Sundays so I can get in and out quickly kid free. I was like here I go all by myself waaaaahooo! Because seriously shopping with kids is crazy right? Yes! From having to go to the potty, to wanting everything they see. Baby crying for a snack because... you bring me to this place with all the food, give me some lady!!
Anyway all that to get to this.
As I was getting in line with my big shopping cart I noticed a little old lady in front of me with her groceries. It was just enough for her. You could tell that she had stuff for a little bit of dinner for that week, lunch items, a carton of eggs and some fruit about 10 items. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks this will be me one day with only a tiny bit of groceries. All by myself not sure if my husband will be alive or not, my children out of the house. And no messes to clean up and no big meals to cook except maybe on holidays and no little lunch boxes to pack. My eyes filled up with tears and I was immediately thankful for this season of My Life! Each day is a little different and there's different struggles with each day sometimes I get caught up in the struggle instead of the blessing because there is a blessing each day as well. The love I received everyday is beyond compare from my children and husband I just need to hold out my heart and take it all in each day.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 ESV
