Today I woke up tired, just like any other day.
Today, I studied, just like any other day.
Today, I worked, just like any other day.
Today, I battled with the kids, just like any other day.
Today, I felt guilty, just like any other day.
Today, I felt alone, just like any other day.
Today, I worried about how I was going to pay all the bills, just like any other day.
Today, I cooked three meals for four kids, just like any other day.
Today, I raised my voice at least four times, just like any other day.
Today, I refereed fights, just like any other day.
Today, I wondered if all this hard work is worth it, just like any other day.
Today, I dreaded dishing out discipline, just like any other day.
Today, I cried because I missed my dad, just like any other day.
Today, I regrouped, just like any other day.
Today, I laughed as I watched my girls being silly, just like any other day.
Today, I said, it is worth it, just like any other day.
Today, I smiled when I saw my older boy "fathering" my younger boy, just like any other day.
Today, I said, get over yourself, just like any other day.
Tomorrow, I'll get up and do it all again, just like any other day.
