Where Even My Fingers are Tired

I woke up today feeling exhausted, not just physically, but mentally too. There's something about winter weather, even though I'm technically living in the south now, that makes me feel like I've been hit by a wave of fatigue. It's not just the cold—it’s everything else layered on top: work deadlines, household chores, and the constant hum of responsibility that never seems to pause. Yesterday, my husband and I finally had a rare moment to ourselves. We went out on a proper date for the first time since Skylar joined our family. The relief of leaving the chaos behind was almost palpable. Sitting across from him at the restaurant, listening to his stories and laughing together, reminded me why we fell in love in the first place. It was peaceful, simple, and exactly what both of us needed. But then again, I think about how our lives have changed since having kids. Every room in our house feels alive with their laughter and energy. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, like there aren't enough hours in the day to keep up. Yet when they're asleep and the house grows quiet, I find myself missing the noise. It's funny how quickly you can adapt to new rhythms, especially when they're tied to tiny humans who depend on you completely. We recently lost a friend to infant loss, and it hit close to home. Their grief was raw and heartbreaking, but it also made me reflect on the privilege of being able to hold onto our own moments, however imperfect they may seem. Each giggle, every tantrum—they’re all part of this wild journey called parenthood. And yes, sometimes I still struggle with guilt over letting go of perfectionist tendencies, but I’m learning to embrace the messiness. The truth is, life isn't always going to look neat or planned. Some days, it'll feel disjointed and random, like pieces of a puzzle scattered everywhere. But that doesn't mean it lacks beauty. In fact, maybe it's precisely because of its unpredictability that it feels so deeply real. So here I am, typing this with weary fingers, reflecting on the past few months. Our home isn’t perfect—it's messy, noisy, and often chaotic. But it’s ours. And honestly? I wouldn't trade it for anything. Because amidst all the chaos, there's joy. There's love. And ultimately, there's grace.
