Your whole life you have been doing things your way. Your routine. Your likes and dislikes. The way you organize your house and keep it clean. Your health. Your free time.

And then what happened? These kids happened.

They came in like a wrecking ball. Everything is a mess. Everything is chaos. There’s never enough time, never enough food in the fridge, never enough quiet.

And? Somehow also there’s never enough them. Never enough hugs, never enough laughter, never enough time together.

It’s the craziest, most paradoxical, wonderful thing. Stop trying to understand it. Stop trying to change it. Definitely stop trying to fix it or optimize it.

Embrace it. Enjoy the insanity.
