She is strong, but she is exhausted ⁣

Been working hard, fighting hard, no breaks... fierce as hell but definitely exhausted. The journey is hard but the destination is so damn worth it!

Several weeks ago I went in for my very first mammogram ever. Two weeks after that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. .
.
Thankfully it was caught early and I have options. But the options I have are scary too. Facing the likelihood of a mastectomy and possible double mastectomy is a bit traumatic to be honest. .
.
I have been spending the past couple weeks going through all the things that I am going to need to worry about. As a single mom how do I get my kids to appointments when I can't drive, how will I take care of all the things that I take care of.
.
.
The hardest part is knowing that I will have to do the thing that I am the absolute worst at doing..... asking for help. And ACCEPTING help. The next few months will be hard, but I know I will get through it. .
.
I know I will be fine. Scared and tired, but fine.

A little kindness can go a long way. We don't know other people struggles or situations. .
.
I remember being judged once in the grocery store because I was paying with food stamps. A woman talking to her counterpart about how I was getting so much food for free while other people actually worked for a living.
.
.
She had no way of knowing that I did have a full time job but as a single mom of twins with no child support I was barely getting by.
.
.
She obviously had no idea that the cost of my child care for me to work that full time job was double my rent. That after my son was almost killed, his special needs made it hard to even keep him in a daycare. And she had no idea that I had little support to help me. .
.
I was doing the best I could with my circumstances. Some kindness from her instead would have gone a long way. So remember that the next time you find yourself making snap judgments about someone. .
.
Kindness costs you nothing but can be worth so much to someone else.

I dream about this. Just leaving for some time for myself. Being able to just go without having to worry about anything. Time to just ... be.

Someday soon. .

Yeah, ok, sure Karen...you're tired. .
.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIRED MEANS!
.
.
.
I used to think after a long day at work I was tired. Or after staying out too late with friends the night before and getting up at 8am. I thought I knew what it meant to be tired.
.
.
Then I had children. .
.
I had no idea the bone deep level of exhaustion a person could reach. A to your soul emotionally and physically draining exhaustion. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a second of it. I love my kids and my life...but I would be lying if I said it wasn't draining. .
.
It is. .

This week has been very long and very tiring. I feel exhausted down to my soul. I have been over-momed, over worked, gotten sad news about the loss of a family member, I am dealing with worry over my own health...I need to rest. .
.
I need to replenish. .
.
I need to have time for me so I can go back to being there for everyone else.
.
.
And it is ok to need that.
