"Mom Worry"

It is Friday Evening, sitting with my husband watching a little T.V. as the day winds down.
The kids are in bed, the dishes are done, the house is clean, and the work week has ended. My mind is still going a million miles thinking about all the things that I want to accomplish this weekend.
I have what I call Typical Mom Anxiety- that worry about common things like; did the kids brush their teeth long enough tonight?; Are they going to get enough sleep?; Did I do everything I needed to get done?; Do I have enough time to clean more?; What will I make for dinner tomorrow?. That is just the beginning of things going on in my mind. My husband has what I call man mind. He thinks about what is going on right now and that is it.
I am working on lessen the amount of Mom worry however it is a large task when all you want is the best for your kids. I find that mom worry has been really putting a damper on EVERYTHING. All I can do is worry about things all day long. Talk about draining and consuming. I remember when I first identified that I was having worry and anxiety, I searched online to see if anyone else dealt with it. I realized quickly that it is a common feeling. Most of my friends do not have children so it has been difficult to find someone else that understands.
Mom worry is common and I will continue to unpack this as I strive for better balance in my life during this season- a work life balance that dreams are made of.
The journey continues.......
