Inquisitive face, originally uploaded by dharmabumx.
Ok. I get it. Motherhood is exhausting and trying and about problem solving and unconditional love. I get that I will for the rest of my life put your needs before my own.

Slightly open eyes, originally uploaded by dharmabumx.

As if being a new mom and getting used to all of that isn&#8217;t enough…yesterday the joys of home ownership also played a part in the sheer exhaustion and overwhelmedness (not even sure that&#8217;s a word) that is my life right now.
