Life is usually so chaotic and crazy it can be difficult to focus on the positives. We are so busy trying to be the perfect mum, wife, housewife, worker, cleaner, cook, event planner, receptionist and so on, that sometimes it’s hard to get the space to think. Today was a day that I could have that space to think "wow how amazing is it that I can work, and then race to a paediatrician appt and be there with my son, race back to take him to school, head back to work, go to school pick up, take kids to soccer training or dance or whatever is on each afternoon all while hubby is in the office all day".
I can go to their sports carnivals, assemblies, I help with reading, volunteer at school events and work in the evenings or weekends if I need to. Because not only do I have two flexible jobs but I have a wonderful husband that can take over when he’s home.
Yes we stress about time and are usually late, the house is always a mess and due to having a big family, sports, events etc money can be tight. But today is a day that I’m able to see the positives and it feels amazing.
Yesterday was not that day... Mr8 had a huge meltdown, myself and all the kids ended up in tears and it took me all day to shake it. Yesterday I couldn't the see through the fog. I wanted to cry the entire day and that’s okay too. It’s okay to feel how we do. Own it.
"Today is awesome because..." "today is hard because..."
Don't compare yourself to others and down play things because others have it worse or better, it is okay to feel how you feel and know that tomorrow will likely be different. Let's normalise every day feelings and emotions, and whether you are having a good or bad day it is great to talk about it. We are human and we feel things! We go through things every single day, and that is okay <3
