It may come as a shock to some people, but I am only human. I say this because most people know me as the "smiley girl who works midnights at Wawa, who then goes home to a houseful of children." I absolutely love my kids, and I truly enjoy my job, but there are times that tubbies and meals and peek-a-boo and hide and seek and dress up and laundry and dishes and vacuuming and mopping and cutting the grass and making coffee and scrubbing the deli at work and walking the dogs and keeping that smile on my face all while trying to keep up my marriage and writing a novel really gets to me. I mean, a girl can only run so far on a pot of coffee.
I write this because it feels good to admit weakness sometimes. It's almost therapeutic. So here is me, lying on the ground with life laying across my chest, tapping out. I am down for the count, at least for today. But tomorrow? Who knows!
I hope good ol' life gives you a break today!
-Ali
