Anyone else???
Mums out there, tell me I’m not the only one that just about survived the summer holidays while trying to run and build a business!
I was inundated with beautiful photos of people having gorgeous family time. I’m not going to lie, for the first time ever I compared my summer to everyone else’s golden moments.
I’m here telling you there was no thriving in this house over the summer, we barely survived. I took my parenting to new lows, called the kids names I usually save for my husband and I’ve lost more hair than I care to admit.
I’ve questioned everything. Yet here I am on day 1 of back to school and I feel the cortisol dissipating from every cell in my body.
While I work out what needs to change next year, because although I’ve considered it, giving away my kids isn’t really a feasible option, I’m just putting it out there that any pride I felt for the business I’ve built was completely decimated by my inability to parent like a mature adult at the same time.
Anyway, here we are trying to fix both the neglect I administered to my business and the relationships I hampered with my family.
Bottoms up. Chin chin!
Anyone else? Please tell me I’m not the only one?!
