Day 244

Today was a rough day.

Sometimes being a parent sucks and you wonder what you were thinking years ago when you fantasized about having children.

Harsh, I know, but I am being honest.

And sometimes honesty hurts.

I wanted to run away and not come home.

I wanted to drink until I didn't feel my feelings.

I wanted to crawl under the covers and stay there for the next 15 years.

And then I remembered that life is a journey.

Sometimes fantastic.

Sometimes crappy.

I love my kids.

More than anything.

And even though they drive me insane, I love being on this journey with them.

Most of the time.
