Being a student & a mum is tough!

Hey!

First off the bat i just want to say, today being a student sucks!
The struggles of completing assignments and cleaning your house and making sure your kid doesn't feel neglected is hard work. I really admire people who seem to have it all together.

Because i dont!

I cried today, because i dropped my pen. BECAUSE I DROPPED MY PEN. How pathetic is that.

As a mum and the runner of our household i organise our schedules, cook the meals, do the shopping, pay the bills, do the laundry, bath the kid and generally just make sure everyones ok and has the attention they need.

As a student and mum i need to do all of the above plus make sure my deadlines are met and find time to read about the history of therapy and how its evolved through the years. At this point i need therapy just to get through the day.

I then lay awake until 2/3/4 in the morning worrying about various things. Its not healthy.

Also, who plans a wedding right when they're raising a two year old tornado and studying. Me, apparently i'm a lover of punishments.

I have so much respect for Mothers who simply mother, Mothers who work and Mothers who study or even the supet human Mothers who do it all AND have a social life.

I take my hat off to you 👒

I enjoy what i am doing and i love being a mum but today, its just too hard to do.

So, my advice, when you are feeling like its all too much and you just need a break for a chance to unwind.. Take a glass of whatever your poison is and run a hot bath, its currently 1:16pm on a Sunday and i am in the bath.

Darren my future husband is downstairs and all i can hear is "Mia get off me, will you stop doing that" followed by an evil little cackle from our daughter.

Mothers who struggle, i feel ya. I respect ya and  i think you're doing a damn fine job! 😘
