<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You mean I can’t go home and relax at 5:00 ? Why ? I have two tiny humans daughter (5) and son (2). And everyday when I take them to their destination and head back to my office jail I feel bad.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://sequinsinthesouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/wpid-img_20150627_093807.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full aligncenter" title="IMG_20150627_093807.jpg" src="https://sequinsinthesouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/wpid-img_20150627_093807.jpg" alt="image" loading="lazy"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Okay so I’m being dramatic about office jail. I really don’t hate it and actually don’t mind working all day and getting everything done. But I really do feel bad for being that “9 to 5” mom in the land of stay at home moms,  teachers and mom’s that work out of the home.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>My kids are amazing and are actually very well behaved to my standards. But I get stuck in this rut where when they horseplay constantly when I get home its drives me insane and I’m stuck telling them stop ! No ! And etc until bed time.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I can’t help but think if I didn’t do EXCEL all day long and answer to everyone else that I would have way more mental span for them to play yell run and  scream.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Will I find out ? No not anytime soon me and my husband both have to work full-time right now. So right now I’m stuck being the stretched thin mom.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>But what I keep telling myself is:</strong><br>
<strong> I’m glad my kids see us working to provide.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I still read to them nightly.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I continually buy fun easy things for us to-do that I can engage in when my brain is so tired.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Bath time is fun time also.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Maybe I’m stuck in blogger land and see tons of stay at home mom’s and mom’s that home-school and that’s amazing but you know why else is?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I’m still a kick ass mom even after my very draining 9 to 5 and I’m proud of our little family.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://sequinsinthesouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/wpid-img_20150627_093730.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="  aligncenter" title="IMG_20150627_093730.jpg" src="https://sequinsinthesouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/wpid-img_20150627_093730.jpg" alt="image" width="284" height="291" loading="lazy"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Some days I feel defeated like I failed my tiny humans and then some days I feel like the best mom ever. And that’s life and in my life nothing will ever be perfect but will be perfect for us.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>So to all the working  mom’s cheers to us grab a wine glass and let them watch cartoons to occupy them a few times !! They will live. And we can breath.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>While we are ridding the crazy train its also important to take time for us to… I know seems impossible right. But right now the things that keep me from falling off the ride are:</strong><br>
<strong> Good Books.</strong><br>
<strong> Easy quick crafts.</strong><br>
<strong> Succulents.</strong><br>
<strong> Connecting with other bloggers.</strong><br>
<strong> 1 not 10 TV Series.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>All those things help me stay happier and can be put the side easily if needed.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hope y’all enjoyed my post !!! To all my mama’s how do y’all feel some days ? Especially Monday thru Friday ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thanks so much for taking the time to read my madness it means more than you know. !!!</strong></p>
