The Daily Hustle

I’m sure I’ve said this many times throughout my posts since I started this blog back in December 2018…..

There is something to say about the daily hustle. It’s what we, as parents do..

There are always things to do.. gotta rush off to the next thing.

Our life has now become a hustle on Mondays through Wednesdays… The calm is Thursdays through Sundays.. I really look forward to those calm evenings.

We have karate, cub scouts, and roller skating in our life for our extra curricular activities. We stay busy with the run around on the first 3 nights of the week. AND trust me when I say, it’s not an easy task. The kids are whining, hungry, tired, arguing, and just pushing my buttons.. I sometimes ask myself “why am I doing this? They don’t really know the stress it adds to my evenings, and the lack of relaxation time I get..” but I pick myself up, and do the things because it’s for the best interest of the kids. They will be better people for it.

I do the best I can, but I so often lose my cool, and I hate that.

Stress is a killer.. killer for your body, but also for your mental health. I have got to figure out how to adjust my outlook on things, because the “things” won’t be going away anytime soon. It’s all in how you handle those “things” in the daily hustle.

I know it’s easier said when in a calm environment, what you can do better, how you can handle the next stressor, but in reality, when those kids push your buttons, and you’re already stressed to the max, what gives?

I have yet to perfect my reactions with them, but I’m a work in progress.. Who isn’t?

Just working on me, trying to do better.
