Today was one of those days where exhaustion seemed to seep into every pore. I woke up feeling drained from the past few days. The workday didn't help, filled with training videos that seemed to drag on forever. I tried to multitask, squeezing in some schoolwork, but my mind felt foggy, and my body screamed for rest.

As the day wore on, the mental fatigue took its toll. Doubts crept in, and I couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy. "Why couldn't I be enough?!" The question echoed in my mind, leaving me feeling lost and uncertain.

But then, something shifted. After work, I sat in my car, listening to music, trying to gather my thoughts. That's when Jay called. We started talking about his recent actions, and I finally opened up about our family change.

Jay asked, "Why can't he ever get it right?" I took a deep breath, trying to process my emotions. "That's something he's going to have to deal with," I replied, trying to keep my emotions in check.

Jay's response caught me off guard. "I don't want to talk about it again. I'm getting better for you, Mommy! It doesn't matter." In that moment, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.

Jay's words were exactly what I needed to hear. They reminded me that I'm not alone, and that my children are my rock. They give me the strength to keep going, even on the toughest days.

With renewed determination, I headed to the courthouse to pick up the new papers with Andri by my side. The clerk's words, "This is valid for an entire year," brought a sense of relief and closure. Andri's reaction, jumping up and down, and exclaiming, "I'm so glad I don't have to see it again!" was a poignant reminder that I'm not just fighting for myself, but for my children's well-being and safety.

Today was a tough day, but it was also a day of unexpected strength and resilience. My children reminded me that I'm enough, and that together, we can face anything that comes our way.
