Today I sat in my car and cried.⁣ ⁣ Like, your

Today I sat in my car and cried.⁣
⁣
Like, your junior high first breakup kinda’ cry.⁣
⁣
It was just a hard morning.⁣
⁣
I was up all night with a sick little heart. Then slept in. Rushed to get the others off to school (but not before I raised my voice one too many times). Dropped them off and rushed back home to tend to the sick.⁣
⁣
But before I could go in,⁣
⁣
I needed to sit in my car and cry.⁣
⁣
Sometimes life can be a lot. Sometimes motherhood can be a lot. Sometimes marriage can be a lot. Sometimes a career can be a lot.⁣
⁣
And sometimes?⁣
Sometimes it just feels like a lot, all at once.⁣
⁣
I mean, I try to push through.⁣
⁣
And sometimes I can.⁣
⁣
But other times?⁣
⁣
Other times what I’m carrying on my shoulders just feels really heavy (so much so, that I wonder if people can physically see my knees buckling under the weight).⁣
⁣
And can I share a little secret with you?⁣
⁣
I also hate to admit what I’m going through.⁣
⁣
I hate to say out loud that I am in a tough season.⁣
⁣
Maybe I’m worried about the woman with the grown children, who will tell me that she used to be able to do it all. Maybe I feel bad for the grieving woman, who could only wish to have her child still here on earth. Maybe I fear I will be looked at as a failure from the woman who has her life together, for my not being able to do it all.⁣
⁣
So I’ll write this—⁣
For those like me who need to read it.⁣
⁣
Sometimes we just need to be reminded that we are not a failure if we are frustrated, exhausted, or depleted by life.⁣
⁣
Sometimes we just need reassurance that there are others in the trenches with us, keeping us company in our messy.⁣
⁣
Sometimes we just need another woman to raise her (cold) mug in solidarity, and shout from the other side of the room “I’ve been there, too.”⁣
⁣
Because sometimes?⁣
⁣
Sometimes you will find yourself sitting in your driveway, in last night's pajamas, crying in the car—and you just need to know that you’re not the only one having a rough day.⁣
⁣
Thankfully, friends, not every day is a rough day.⁣
⁣
But today was.⁣
⁣
. . . And that’s OK.⁣
⁣
Because I’ll try to do better tomorrow.⁣

I'm a mother myself, and I call my mom multiple times a day.⁣
⁣
When I have a bad day.⁣
When I have a good day.⁣
When I’m bored.⁣
⁣
And some of the conversations are only a sentence long.⁣
⁣
“Before I forget, you have to watch this show."⁣
Or “Did you hear the news about Betty White? I’m heartbroken.”⁣
⁣
Other times are when I’m in the car on the way to an extra-curricular or pick-up.⁣
⁣
I’ll talk her ear off about my day:⁣
the tantrum my toddler had on our way out the door,⁣
the terrible night’s sleep I had,⁣
things that absolutely no one else in this world would care about except for her.⁣
⁣
She’ll fill me in on her life.⁣
We’ll vent to each other about whatever is on both of our minds.⁣
⁣
We mostly talk about nothing, really⁣
and then we say “Ah, got to go,”⁣
and don’t talk until later.⁣
⁣
There’s no pressure in conversation.⁣
It's just my best friend and me.⁣
⁣
And now that I'm a mother.⁣
I need her more than ever.⁣
Because the hard is harder,⁣
Everything's higher stakes,⁣
and she’s my sounding board.⁣
⁣
So, I'm a mother myself, and I call my mom multiple times a day,⁣
and there’s no shame in that.⁣
⁣
Because I know it’s a gift⁣
I have someone I can say a whole lot of nothing to daily.⁣
⁣
And my one wish,⁣
is one day I’ll hear my phone ringing multiple times a day⁣
and I’ll pick up to the sound of my own children’s voices,⁣
my best friends.⁣

Exhausting? Yes.⁣ Demanding? Absolutely.⁣ Cons

Exhausting? Yes.⁣
Demanding? Absolutely.⁣
Consuming? Of course.⁣
But I don’t remember anyone telling me there would be times when every single one of my senses would fire at once and how overwhelming that would feel.⁣

Thank you for being that man.⁣
⁣
I hope you feel loved for all you are. In the moments I say nasty things and my tone is hurtful, I hope you still know the depth of my love for you. That my heart breaks knowing I’ve hurt the one my soul loves.⁣
