The last few months, I have started to use my blog as more of a diary. I think as my blog grew that went away slightly but with so much going on in our lives, I thought it was a good place to off load.
Which is why I am checking in to see how everyone is. We all need people to make sure that we are ok, even if that is just asking ‘Are you ok?’
Personally at the moment, I know that I am not the best. I think that might be the same for alot of people. It does feel like everything over the last year has caught up with me and I am feeling it. We are going through a Coronavirus Pandemic and that isn’t going to be easy on anyone. Pretty much everyday, by around 4pm, I am exhausted. With Jonny still working, I am trying to write and grow my blog, look after a home, 3 kids and myself. Well myself comes last. Self care has gone straight out the window.
Homeschooling is really taking it out of me. Trying to ‘teach’ a 6 year old and look after 2 other children is hard work. Very very hard work.
My mind seems to be going at 100mph at the moment and before I have finished one thing, the next thing is waiting.
I just need a rest.
I know I am not the only one that feels like this. I know I’m not. Every parent feels like this at the moment. I can’t imagine what it is like to work on the front line either and I feel for those people that are working so so hard to keep everyone healthy. They are going such an amazing job.
So how is everyone?!
Feeling stressed, anxious, sad, tired and fed up is ok. It is ok to feel like that. We are going through alot at the moment. I don’t think any of us have been through something like this before. It is a first time for everyone and we are just trying to survive.
It is ok.
