The other day I had a really really rough night with my 2 year old son. He’s in the midst of the 2 year sleep regression along with us being one week away from welcoming his baby sister so it’s been a lot. That night I got less than 2 hours of sleep and the hours I was awake my son was screaming and crying no consoling him. At around 3:20 am I sent a message to my group chat of my closest girls that I was losing my mind lol

By the time morning for everyone else rolled around I was tired but over it, back to routine of taking son to daycare headed to work etc. About 30 minutes into my work day I get an email from Venmo saying my friend sent me $5. That’s not unusual, we are also coworkers and frequent buy each other lunch or snacks and pay each other back in Venmo but I had NO memory of her owing me $5. Thinking it’s pregnancy brain and sleep deprivation after the night I had I open the Venmo message to see if she reminded me what she was paying me back for.

Omg I started crying at work.

She sent me the money with a note saying: “sorry you had a hard night. Get yourself a coffee or sweet treat. You’re going great momma hang in there!”

I went from so stressed about my son and his sleep schedule and how we are going to survive two kids lol to so blessed my friend is so kind! Sometimes we just need a reminder that we are doing our best and there’s people to lean on in our lives.
