This week felt like I was on the passenger side in a hell cat that was going over 175 miles an hour with all the windows down. I’m on the passenger side of the car screaming. The music is bleeding through the speakers. I can't make out the melody that is being played. The impact of the air is clogging my words in my throat. There's tears coming from my eyes. I’m looking over at the driver. I am not even being able to tell them to stop. The driver is a blur to me. Who is the damn driver? I just feel pure chaos with each roaring of the engine. This was week ride!

I now have some time to catch my breath and say that there were small wins that reminded me I’m doing okay.

First, I managed to see my kids off to school every morning. My daughter started Pre-K this week. I successfully watched her get on the bus alongside her brother. It felt like a huge milestone. There’s something about those moments. I’m looking at the little backpacks, the nervous excitement, the quick glance back as they disappear on the bus, I swear the small moments make living so worth it.

I also had a positive conversation with my son’s school about his behavior plan. The transition back into school has been rough for him. I mean the amount of phone calls and write ups made me cry from feeling frustrated and scared for his new beginning. I was able to visit him during the week to help calm him down. It was such a relief. It felt good to be proactive. I am glad that I showed up for him during a difficult adjustment.

Overall, in the midst all the responsibilities, I found a little time for myself. I danced around my living room. I danced to a few feel-good songs by King George. I needed to let go, even for a few minutes. 

I even treated myself to some gelato…to take the edge off. I am talking about the small, heartfelt, meaningful moments like these remind me to breathe and enjoy life. I was reminded even when it felt so hectic.

This journey of my life is not for the faint at heart. There are some weeks that can feel overwhelming. I love to find time to celebrate these little victories. I’m talking about helping my kids, taking care of myself, and finding peace in small things. I swear it makes all the difference.

So, let’s toast to the little wins that keep us going and may go unnoticed.
