Sometimes I do things that are not so smart. One of these times is when I do EVERYTHING and never ask for any help. Like make dinner, clean the kitchen, oversee homework, put four kids to bed, and clean the house. Then I crash from exhaustion.
And then I do things that are very smart. I recruit Evey to set the table, make Matthew clean the kitchen, everyone helps each other with homework, the kids pick up their own messes, and ask Taylor put the little ones to bed.
And then I regress and go back to not so smart.
Last night I asked Taylor to put the kids to bed, but my mistake was giving Evey my phone to play with during story time. Many hours later I discovered multiple pictures and video on my phone of myself passed out on Matthew's bed.

I have about seventeen minutes of me snoring if anyone is interested.
Anyway, I have a point:
Let this be living proof that even with help, sometimes we mothers are still going to pass out from exhaustion.
