Just lost my shit in the grocery store

Just thought I’d share that I just had to football-carry my screaming toddler out of the grocery store while trying to one-handed guide the cart so my other toddler would stop running into everything. It was a total shit show. We left with 4 out of like 20 things that we needed and by the time I decided to give up (took me a while I have a lot of patience and I’m strong willed) i was like laughing like a maniac and I couldn’t stop. I was laughing, they were screaming, another mom yelled “you got this! you’re a good mom!” For emotional support because she could tell I was totally losing my mind/ having a mental breakdown. It was a whole thing.

But what is cool is that all of my bottled up stress and emotion has now this evening come pouring out of me, and I’m realizing that I’m putting waaaay too much pressure on myself and I need to give myself a little more slack. I had a good laugh, a good cry, and now I’m having a great big glass of wine and ignoring the laundry for a little self-care.

What a day. Moms out there- give yourself a break. You are the shit. You’re doing an awesome job.
