The mental load of alcohol was EXHAUSTING 😫 The mental load of alcohol was EXHAUSTING 😫
A funny thing happened on my first vacation withou A funny thing happened on my first vacation without kids in years. 
I remembered who I was. The pre-mother part. 
You see, motherhood is so deeply consuming. It takes all of us. It holds on for dear life, and it’s hard to let go.
I didn’t realize it, but I had forgotten who I was and much of what I knew before the layer of motherhood coated me like a blanket.
Motherhood changes us, of course. It softens us and hardens us. Thickens and thins. Fills and drains. 
Being away from my kids is hard, but having space to connect back to my core has energized me in a way I never expected.
Being a mom is a part of my identity. One of my favorite parts, in fact. But it’s just one part. I forgot that for a long time.
And when I took that layer off, even just for a few days? I remembered the woman who lives underneath the layers. And I remembered how much I love her.
