Mom, Mom, Mommy, Mum, Mum, MOM!

Ah, being a mom. Ya love experiencing the joys of watching your child grow, learn and discover the world around them. It’s a beautiful, magical, one-of-a-kind job right?

Well, most of the time, that is.

Now, obviously I’m not a mom, but I know my own mom and what I see and hear from family and you listeners.  The gig is downright exhausting. There are days when you wonder how  you’ll make it  without pulling every single hair from my head.

So, how do you deal or live with those once beautiful, happy, little angels turn into screaming, whining, little monsters?

 

Try these 5 things:

It might sound crazy, but you know what? After a few moments of alone time, you’ll find the will to open the door to that bathroom or closet you locked yourself in, dispose of the “kids for sale” sign go on working on all afternoon.

 

 

 

Treat yourself

Are you saying with what $? Have you seen our budget….!?!

Exercise

Just another thing to add to the list?

Ok,, try this. Grab those cuties, and run in the park or roll around on the front lawn. Done, and your getting in that all important bonding thang too!

 

 

GNO

Pencil in one night a month with the girls and without the children. Go to dinner, see a movie, say goodbye to the diet and gossip over junk food.

 

And finally, Forgive yourself. Your going to lose your temper, scream, maybe punch that pillow. But remember it’s all good. And to :

Forgive yourself
