Goona,

I swear to God, on 100 Holy texts, it gets better.

Jesus, four kids!! You are actually doing The Right Thing by being a SAHM, by being Present.

A Secret no one will Admit: Kids are a pain in the azz. They just are. Please believe the cliché that it all happens so fast. Because looking back it does. I would love to have those days back, even with the baby in diapers, the wild boy and the tantrum-ing girl. Now they are cool. Well, one isn’t but in less than 1000 days he’ll be an adult too!

And don’t beat yourself up for not being career successful and behind the times. Four Kids!!

Have an adventure if you can. Family? Friends? Dump kids on husband and run ~ for a few hours.

Inky, hats off to you – you have openly stated what everyone else knows about kids but will never say it!

Goona, you have come to a stage in life where your soul is demanding an “evaluation” – of where you have been and where you want to go next. You need to take some time off by yourself and think about this.
