Saturday morning you wake up in a panic, remembering that it was your week to bring snacks for after your kiddo’s basketball game. Realizing you haven’t made a grocery run in a hot minute, you head to your fave place to inspire you while simultaneously shame you, and search Pinterest for some way to turn a half a cup of pretzels, 6 juice pouches and 4 stale marshmallows into a charcuterie board. 

You show up to the game and realize not only was it NOT your week, but this week’s mom brought in homemade donuts with each kid’s name on them along with freshly squeezed orange juice from their tree at home. So, same.

Monday morning, you make breakfast that only half your kids eat, pack their lunches, pull some clothes out of the dryer (and some from the dirty hamper…whoops), get them dressed, sign reading logs from the weekend, repack lunches when they decide they all want something different, and head to the car.

On the way out the door, your oldest yells, “Thanks for my lunch, dad!” as he grabs the bag from your husband.

**Cue internal rage screaming.

When you get to the office 5 minutes later than your boss, but still earlier than the actual start time, she tries to joke with you, “Well I guess it’s hot mess mom o’clock.”

And then your email chimes in. Addressed only to you, from your child’s teacher, “I’d really love it if you could spend 30 minutes with your son reading each night. He’s falling behind and it’s so important to get that time in every day. Oh, could you also chaperone the field trip on Friday?”

That’s enough to make anyone lose their ish and that’s the kinda stuff we’re facing every day as working moms. 

Constantly feeling like we’re not doing enough, but having absolutely nothing left to give.

We’re on the continual cycle of doing all the things, feeling resentful for it, blowing up, and then trying to do all the things to make up for it. And the cycle continues.

So how do you resist the ever-present push and pull? How do you stop chasing this elusive work-life balance? Because it seems like if you stop, even for a moment, everything would fall apart.

If you decide to take a longer lunch so that you can walk around the block to get sunshine and lower some stress hormones, you feel like you have to justify it by staying 30 minutes late at the end of the day.

Which means your kids have to go to after school care.

Which means you’re going to have a bigger bill at the end of the month.

Which means you’re going to be stressing about your budget.

Which means you’re going to WANT to take some time to take care of yourself so that you’re not bottling up those emotions with nowhere to go…so you think of taking a walk around the block.

And if you give a mouse a cookie…
