My off work hours mantra - “They don’t get this too”Anyone can respond

Hello fellow working moms! I was talking to a friend about this recently and she found it helpful so I thought I would share here too. For context, I’m a mom to 16 month old twins and also work full time as an engineer in a field that has 24/7 operations. It’s a great job but can have the tendency to bleed into personal time, whether just mentally or also with actual work. Any time I am “off the clock” and just doing stuff in my personal life, if I start thinking or talking about work I immediately shut the mental door in it by repeating “They get so much of my time. They don’t get this too. This is my time” and I just repeat it until I have shoved work thoughts out of my brain. I know it sounds simple but if I don’t do it, I can find myself prepping for work, making a task list, wondering if I did something correct etc etc all while I should be enjoying my limited free time or weekends. If you’re like me and have trouble leaving work at work, give this a try!

Omfg KILL MEEEEE how do we not finish that 😭😭😫

No plates here! Our high chairs have trays that pop off so I just wash those. The plate is always kind of a distraction honestly.

My husband is at the game and I’m jealous but also stoked for him, it’s been such an electric game with so many good chances!

Really hoping we put another few in the back of the net here in the 3rd and just keep up the great play!

Parise can’t even hustle without them reminding everyone that he’s 39, basically on death’s door 😂

FUCK YES MOOSE!! God damn that feels good! Miko needed that, we all needed that!!

Omfg I’m drying. Should be 2 or 3 in by now. Let’s go big PP energyyyy!

I’m hyped on that first period showing! We are not panicking when we get possession in our own zone and actually creating offensive momentum! Aggressively forechecking and SHOOTING THE PUCK! Good physical play from the guys we need to be physical and everyone is working their asses off. Good start!

Wow I know we haven’t put one in but I am LOVING these scoring chances!!

That’s the passing from Moose we are used to!! I like!!

Damn that was a nice move, Mack!! More more more!

Marchment literally looks like he has nothing going on behind the eyes

Marchment you fucking loser. What a prick.

Faaaack that could’ve been perfect
