Do you have mornings
…….. where it would seem more productive to crawl right back into bed and pull the covers up?
……… where you only speak to your children in foreign tongue, obviously because they have absolutely no idea what you are saying?
……… where searching Webjet for one-way deals to ANYWHERE would be an instant fix? Single fare of course.
……… where nobody else in the household remembers how to speak in an ‘inside voice’? Despite reminding.
……… where there is nothing in it’s right place, but of course it’s never anyone’s fault?
……… where silently chanting : “this will pass, this will pass, this will pass” is all you can muster?
……… where the game of ‘who can push Mum the furtherest wins’ is more competitive than ever?
You do?
Really, you do?
You’re not alone you know …. and in the interests of keeping it real, I’m announcing, upfront and all, that this morning I lost my shit. To any possible bystander (like maybe the neighbours from their windows or peeking from behind the trees) it probably looked really uncool and unnecessary. It certainly was not pretty.
Of course I’m not saying I enjoyed it. Because I didn’t. I hated it and later got very cranky at myself BUT it did serve a purpose at the time. It was an opportunity for me to pinpoint exactly what behaviours and expectations I was experiencing frustration with and therefore what elements of our morning routine need addressing. All of which are things that are able to be worked on. Tomorrow morning, no doubt. But now? Time for (another) coffee, I think!
Tell me about the last time you really lost your shit. What happened and how was it after?
It’s Tuesday! So, again I’m linking up with Jess’s IBOT …… over at her lurvely new-ish home Essentially Jess!
Have you checked it out yet, because it’s awesome!!
