One Thursday evening while my husband was away, I had a to have a conversation with my children that I, honestly, was not ready for. It was not the typical talk most parents have with their children but I, unfortunately, am not like most parents. And as like most things when you have children, it always happens at the most inconvenient times.
LET’S GO!!!! WE are going to be late. C’mon. C’mon. C’MON!!!
Danny, WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES?!?!?
Dylan! Please for the love of Jesus get out of the frig.
I am GOING TO BE LATE!!!
“Where are we going Mom? We going to practice?” quips Daniel.
“Practice? ME!! GO, TOO!!” chimes in my 2-year-old Dylan.
“Yes. Mommy has practice tonight” I replied as I watched their eyes light up with excitement. You see, I play roller derby. When my husband is out of town, the kids come to practice with me. It is probably one of the only thing they like when their Dad leaves town. They love seeing their mom step onto the track and become Jersey TurnSpike. But that is a different story for another day.

Somedays it may even feel like you have two different moms is one person. Sometimes I am the Mom that reads stories and plays pretend. The Mom that colors and snuggles on the couch. However, sometimes I am the Mom that can’t get off the couch no matter how much you beg. It is not because I do not want to. God. Do I want to. I just. I just can’t. Then there are the days where I couldn’t get my mind grows so loud I go to sleep at 3am and you are up at 7am. I am short and snappy. And I know deep down you don’t understand what is going

    I am constantly arguing with my mom because she also tells me about how perfect she was during her childhood. My mom always tells me the difficult things she had to and compares them with the “simple” tasks she makes me do. I also do not like to be proven wrong, especially by my mom, so when she corrects me I get extremely frustrated. Some days I am like Mattie and secretly wish my mom could go away, but then I think of all the horrible problems I would have. A perfect example is when my mom makes me wash the dishes and I complain back.…

    This meant that I would be the one driving her places, I would be the one cleaning the house, and I would be the one doing all of the things that my mom can no longer do. At first I was fine with doing everything for her. It made me feel independent and maybe even self-governing, but now, I cannot wait for her to be back up and walking again. I like helping her and making sure she is okay, but she will ask me to do something for her like get her a glass of water, so of course I get it for her, then, as soon as I sit down on the couch and try to unwind (remind you this is after a lengthy day of school and basketball) she will ask me to get up and turn the heat down.…
