Each precious moment is prickled with some hard. Each season is sometimes amazing and also sometimes terrible. Each day is overstimulating and underutilized. Each decision is both good and bad, and it just doesn\u2019t ever feel like we\u2019re doing it 100% right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-maybe-that-s-the-point-to-be-comfortable-in-the-tight-spaces\">But maybe that\u2019s the point, to be comfortable in the tight spaces.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find contentment in the chaos and the calm alike. To be present on purpose, in pain and peace. To find the balance of working through your emotions and limitations and stress and angst, then still choosing to find the good and the joy in it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because motherhood has taught me that there is room for both the glorious and groggy&#8230; marvelous and mundane&#8230; beautiful and boring&#8230; often all before 7 a.m. It\u2019s all or nothing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if I won\u2019t ever get one without the other, I choose it all -the full experience, bittersweet as it is, with everything this season has to offer me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related Posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themom.co\/fr\/if-you-give-a-mom-a-monday\/\"><u>If You Give A Mom A Monday<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themom.co\/fr\/ways-that-i-combat-caregiver-burnout\/\"><u>Ways That I Combat Caregiver Burnout<\/u><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a mom torn between angst from a rough night\u2019s sleep and wonder at the face of the beautiful bed hog who caused it.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"author":524,"featured_media":27047,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Experience the rollercoaster of motherhood.
