Meghan King Edmonds Shares Her Very Real Christmas Morning Mom Woes

Meghan King Edmonds recently wrote on social media that she is ready to "manifest the s--t outta all the good stuff that’s gonna happen to me in 2020" following a tumultuous year that saw her marriage to Jim Edmonds end after he reportedly filed for divorce in October, just one day after the couple's fifth wedding anniversary. She also spent much of the year traveling with her 1-year-old son Hart so that he could receive medical treatments and therapy for  "brain damage" that was diagnosed as a result of minor Periventricular Leukomalacia. 

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum's tough year culminated in a stressful, busy holiday with her three kids and extended family. There were mishaps aplenty, as she relayed on Instagram.

"Christmas morning: full of joy and laughter (...and also oversleeping because your toddler was in your bed so you couldn’t check your alarm volume and turns out it was at ZERO and you didn’t find out till 7:26am... when your twin boys are screaming and the alarm ***silently*** has been going off since 6am... but you’ve been helping Santa with duties/aka installing - literally - a new play room, and didn’t get to sleep till 2am; stressing out your kids don’t see the 'big gift' right away; putting your premade casseroles in the oven 1.5 hours late then forgetting you have to cook a special syrup even though you still haven’t brushed your teeth/hair but your entire family is over - each looking like a snack bc they prepared properly - and hungrily awaiting their promised breakfast; all whist 3 terrorists parasitically demand their milk with full diapers awaiting my changing.) Christmas, such a magical holiday."

Whew, that sounds tough — luckily, Meghan knows she definitely isn't alone in feeling this way.

"Btw I think many moms can relate, right?" she added. "If so, please share your experiences with me. I could use some solidarity."

Onward and upward in 2020!
