#struggles

Everyone has their own capacity, limit of what they can deal with and depending on which season of life they are in or energy levels is how they can manage.

Today - household shopping was done by 9:15am, two catch ups with beautiful ladies, a couple of errands, dishes, washing done, dinner in the works and of course caught up on latest episode of Bachie. I had energy, very blessed to have good pregnancies and some days I’m super energetic…

BUT highly likely I’ll be in bed by 7pm and let’s be REAL I have a lot of days that go a little something like this….

Snuggles on the couch watching Saxon’s fave shows in our jarmies & fluffy dressing gowns, we go at our pace, both have naps, house is a COMPLETE disaster. As I struggle with a big dose of exhaustion. Then I sms hubby “when are you coming home so I can prep dinner” which on these days is code for “how long do I have to get dressed and shower before hubby is home”.

There is a season ahead of me (newborn & toddler) that’s going to stretch me again, and knowing how much sleep deprivation can knock me about I’m probably going to have more “snuggles on the couch days”. But be ok to say “I’m struggling” or “can you please give me a hand”  or " I don’t know how to do this". We aren't here to do life on our own. 

Be kind to yourself, having struggles is all part of it, surround yourself with people who can help or be an ear. Its going to help the journey through the dips a little easier to deal with, most importantly be kind to others you don’t know what their capacity is.

Have a lovely weekend
