Rest is so essential to us. Why do we fight it so? Glad you were prepared to deal with a fussy baby. This Mom stuff is certainly not easy. We missed you. It’s so true, isn’t it Karen.

Then I realized I really needed to just take a bath. So I did. Lucky for me because tonight was he monster bedtime meltdown that included 45 minutes of nonstop screaming by the one and a half year old. I was totally fine and never once felt overwhelmed by it. Much less has overwhelmed me in the past when I have not had my rest. So I am grateful I had the bath today. Also grateful to have awareness brought to it by your talk!
