Does anyone else use their time picking up their kids from practice as their “me time”?

What a day! I finally have 10 min (lol) to actually sit and write this. My toddler fell asleep in the car on the way to pick my oldest up from practice.

If any of you are familiar with Alabama weather, you know this snow storm coming ‘ain’t no joke’! We are all packed up and headed to my mom’s house since my husband works nights tonight. There’s a possibility of the roads/bridges closing or power going out. So the safest thing to do was grab our stuff and go. (My parents have a generator). School’s are closed tomorrow. This can only mean one thing….pray for my sanity.

I don’t see how other moms do this. I work from home and my 3 year old stays home with me. All of my kids think I’m always stressed or mad…they aren’t wrong. But I hate it. I just wish life could slow down a little bit. I wake up in the mornings just looking forward to bed time…and do it all over again. I feel like there are more messes being made than I can keep up with. Once I finish cleaning something and move on to something else….the first something is already a mess again. My boys pout if I ask them to do any chores. I’ve started standing my ground more and sticking to it.

Practice is over…so I will have to add to this once I get time again.
