I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mom. There was no doubt in my mind. Equally, I’ve always wanted to be an educator. Never did I realize that the two together would be so...EXHAUSTING!

I remember the days of my own time...doing what I wanted, when I wanted, and how I wanted to do it. I used to take a quick trip to the dry cleaner for granted. 

Those days are officially over...

Why am I so exhausted?

I am a mom of two boys who are, needless to say, BOYS. Every moment is an adventure. 

Take today. The boys were downstairs watching TV after lunch. Or so I thought. I was in my room,  enjoying watching my cooking shows, and  relaxing for a minute when I heard a loud bang and crash. When I ran downstairs, the boys were huddled in a corner, screaming, “we didn’t do anything!” On the floor was a shelf that held photos of the two darlings that were now looking scared and suspicious. After many painful minutes of asking (and much deserved time-outs), the true story came out. 


And it's only the beginning of summer...
