I picked up this candle today from Bath & Body Works because it perfectly describes what I hope for every Sunday evening. Life hasn’t slowed down one bit and the weekends last all but a second. I’ve given up on trying to get a head start on the week by planning because it does nothing but cause unnecessary stress since things change constantly throughout the week.

I would usually crawl right back into bed before it’s time to hop on my 8:30 conference call, but I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed for as long as I’m able to. It’s been absolutely draining.
