Falling asleep is proof of your hard work.

I couldn't post yesterday.
The reason is—I fell asleep.

I picked up the kids from daycare,
went home, cooked dinner, gave them a bath,
played a little, washed the dishes, did the laundry,
and filled the humidifier and water purifier.

Finally, it was bedtime.

While putting the kids to sleep,
I remember thinking, 'I managed to get through today,' and that's the last thing I remember.

When I realized it, it was 2:00 AM.
Woken up by a crying baby,
'Oh, I did it again...'

I couldn't write my note, and I couldn't work on my side job.
A night of solo parenting, quietly finished.

My husband is away on a night shift.
It can't be helped, but,
honestly, there are moments when I find it tough.

Looking in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes are terrible.
The sleepiness is also intense. But,
I have to do my best again today.

Even if you fall asleep, it's surely okay.
Because it's proof that you're working that hard.

Being able to work hard enough to fall asleep,
is much more amazing than you think.

Even if there are days you can't post,
even if there are days you can't make progress on what you want to do,
just getting through your daily life is more than enough.

To all the moms working just as hard.
Let's take it easy together today, too.

Thank you for reading.
My sleepiness and fatigue were at their peak lol
Every day is tough, but the cuteness of my children is in a league of its own.
It makes me feel like I have to keep doing my best.

Alright, I'll do my best again starting tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
