What would I do without coffee??

My little boy woke me up every hour from 11:00-3:00 last night crying and calling for me. I think he might be getting sick. If I was a stay-at-home mom, the lack of sleep would be okay. I could nap. I wouldn’t have to make myself look presentable. I could sleep until everyone else in my house woke up.

But … alas. I have to go to work and function at my best.On days like today, I wish I could just stay home with my boy.

Part of what makes me a mom is the ability to fight through exhaustion, gulp down that coffee, put on my lipstick and start my Thursday.

Girls, we need to give ourselves more credit for being hardcore.
