Life is…. going to a community forum in the evening to discuss why they want to close my children’s school which lasted 2.5 hours.

Life is… then going grocery shopping so that Grace can have chocolate chip cookies for her “zero the hero” treat at school. (zero the hero is how they celebrate things like the 10th day of school, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, etc.. and on and on)

Life is… then coming home to a sleeping baby who had slept all evening, waking her up, nursing her, changing her, nursing her yet again… hoping she will go to sleep since it is 1am and I haven’t slept a wink yet.

Life is… falling asleep while the baby nursed, waking up hours later, thankful she is still on me and then going back to sleep after adjusting the baby…

Life is….. then waking up at 6:30 in the morning, unable to really open my eyes but trying to force myself to focus and shower and get the kids ready for the day.

Life is…. hectic… exhausting…. mind numbing…. emotional…. for me right now…
