The Unseen Burdens
Part 3 of 6 - Mental Load and the Neverending Exhaustion
andreaholmewrites.substack.com
In other news, today I published a Substack post!

I read this, and I'm not even a boy mom! But I know some, and I'll be sharing with them.
The wonderful women over at The Pomegranate were gracious enough to let me contribute so I wrote a piece on raising boys in an Andrew Tate world.

Christmas week at work is fun because some people scheduled the week off in advance, some people are suddenly falling ill, and the rest of us are obsessively watching the email traffic to see if we need to just jump in and handle extra tasks.

One of my favorite Christmas memories from childhood is when my parents decided to cut out the stress of a big dinner and make what everyone in our house liked: tacos.
Sometimes the standards we are holding ourselves to are life-sucking rather than life-giving.

From the children's sermon today:
Bishop Ben: when do you feel peaceful?
Child: when my little brothers aren't annoying me
Bp Ben: *repeats for the congregation without laughing*
Congregation: gentle laughter and a few amens 😂😂
A blessed and peaceful Peace Sunday to us all!

Sooooo the holiday weekend got me and I had no idea that yesterday was Friday 😂
We've had a quiet holiday weekend of togetherness, including putting up our tree. I'm ready for coziness!
What about you, friends? Where have you found or created beauty in your corners of the world?

Happy Thanksgiving! I have no plans beyond parade and dog show watching, cooking a small dinner, and paining games with the girls later.
I'm here allllll day for moral support as you deal with family members, including judgment of behavior of siblings and exes!

I started making this blanket during surgery recovery, finished it this week, and my dog immediately claimed it. But she will share it with me sometimes 😂
What are your joys from this week?

I spent last weekend in the mountains for a church retreat. The fall colors were vibrant, but the best part was the time spent connecting with the other women, laughing, crying, praying together.
Your turn! Show me your joys!

Umm hey! I had my appendix out Thursday evening. I'm home and recovering really well.
I'm sitting under a Bob Ross blanket sent by a friend, because internet friends are real friends. But I'm also looking at a bouquet brought by a local friend who coordinated getting my car back to my house.
