The clouds move in, dark, looming, ready to burst and they can mirror exactly how it feels being a mum some days. Here is where I feel I need to write ‘don’t worry I really do love being a mum I love being with my beautiful son all the time’. The truth is I do, of course I do and being a mum to my little one is the best part of me but I’m still me and there are still times when those clouds move in.
We all have days where we just want to curl up and go to sleep, watch crappy tv and eat all the wrong things. It’s important to remember that these days will come, sometimes and for some people they will come thick and fast or slow and steady and this will likely change as you go through life and particularly through mum-hood.
On the days where it rains either physically or emotionally it’s important to remember that there’s nothing wrong with a rainy day. Just as the clouds loom over us, dark and ready to burst, know that they do burst and release out all they are holding in just like a good old cry can do and that release, although you might dread the build up of it all is needed and worth it.
After a rainy day there may well be another rainy day but at any point a warm, sunny and peaceful day is assured to arrive.
Push through the storms and make the most of the sunshine. xBx
