Black Sheep Ink - The GOAT Chapter

Honoring the Heros that gave is the freedom to create the memories we'll never forget.

I know we made some this weekend.

How about you Black Sheep?

Blessed Be what is worth fighting for.

Before I drop the ball and fail to wish all of the mommas out there a Happy Mother's Day... I am here to do it anyway day early!

So here it goes... not quite in line with Hallmark but what else would you expect from me ;)

Mine will be eventful in it's own way. After being off of work for the week I ease back into my part time gig bartending at my favorite Up North Supper Club The Knotty Barrel in downtown Minocqua tonight.

This week was tough. I won't lie.

(Insert me bashing my head against the wall in disbelief).

I am tired.

I am having one of those days where you second guess yourself and every second of your parenting while yearning for "simpler " times while simultaneously feeling a world of possibility at my fingertips.

But maybe that is the nature of this gig in the first place?

We think we are in charge of raising these tiny people into "fully functioning adults"...

When all the while they are raising us...

Teaching us important lessons about patience.
Kindness.
Grace.
Grit and forgiveness.

It is messy.

It is HARD.

It is Heartbreaking.

And if there really is some kind of secret record being kept of my "mom score" I'd put money on my mistakes outweighing my victories.

But nothing. No one and no thing will ever out weigh my love.

So to the mommas...

I see you. I applaud you. I admire you and I believe in you.

I hope your mother's day is fantastic.

Blessed Be those who bare the weight.
