It's been awhile since we got personal. So tonight, the night the newsletter is late, the night I had a crazy day, the night I'm ready for bed at 8:00... I feel like we need to get personal.
I'm tired.
I don't mind being tired. Really! I'm not saying it to complain. I'm just stating a fact that I think most of you can relate to. Being a parent can be tiring. Working all day (and most evenings because I am a teacher) and having two kiddos means I am always tired. When a friend or parent comes up to me and asks the standard, "How are you?" greeting my reply is always, "Tired." It is just me being honest. It's not that I'm not doing well or that I'm having a bad day. It is just me being honest with the state of things right now. I'm pretty sure I don't have to answer verbally. The circles under my eyes probably give the answer before I can.
I love my job, I love my kids, I love their sports, I love publishing, I love my life. It is okay to be tired while loving that life.
So to all my tired moms, dads, grandparents, and everyone in-between.... I get you. Keep being awesome at everything you do that is making you tired. Keep rocking life. You are doing awesome... even if your tired.
Me... right now... even though I am tired I am going to hit publish on this newsletter and pull out my book and read a little before I go to bed because no matter how tired I am I need some me time.
Sending peace, love, and macaroni your way,
Nicci
