Hello
Super Hero Mumma!
How's everything
in your world? Crazy busy? Cruisy? Well... let me tell you....
For me it has
been a little cra cra to say the least.
Two words...
School Holidays!
In a nut shell, this is both awesome and unbearable all at the same
time. Things are noisy, messy, unorganised, fun, entertaining,
uncontrolled and just plain crazy!! And most of the time CHAOS
(Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome !) But we sucked it up and still
invited a gorgeous young mum and her 7 kidlets over spontaneously
yesterday....mess and all!
Everyone has mess. Why do we all try to hide it or pretend to be
perfect?
What is with this huge false garbage we go along with? What is with
the pressure that we accept and try to live up to?
It's called the
Perfection Infection!!!
I personally
have had some real battles in my own life.
Firstly, being a
Work From Home Mum (WFHM), school holidays have been a massive
challenge. Trying to get snippets of time to do some form of work
but still sharing myself with everyone else. Late nights trying to
get something done, but then teens and hubby need a piece of me
too. It really never ends. Here it is already nearly
May and things I had hoped to achieve just haven't happened, but you know
what? I can try again. I get to do it all over and do it
better. Manage my time better. Love better. Love more. Take
time where it's needed and focus on the important things.
Somethings just
never happen smoothly in the holidays. I have had to just sit back
and breathe and enjoy the days and snatch snippets of time, usually
minutes (often in the loo on my phone!) . Just doing what I can to
keep things going for everyone, still supporting my team and family at
the same time.
How can I expect
things to be the same as when everyone is in school and busy is just
ridiculous!! What was I thinking?? Just crazy hey!?
Just trying to keep things going and appear perfect all.the.time!!!
Just let it go.
Another huge
thing for me has been in my marriage. Who's marriage is
perfect? Really? I mean really perfect?
I have had a
major revelation after 32 years of marriage!! My husband is not
perfect...and neither an I. What a shock!! Seriously?!
I have been putting so much pressure on both of us to have to fit into
someone else's mould of what perfect is.
My expectations
of what normal is has been unachievable for hubby who is working through
his own stuff. Time for me to step back and show a little
grace. Boy, once I am perfect then I can point all the fingers I
want!!
Same goes for
mothering. There is so much Mum Shaming going on today. I am
done with it. I am into Mum Faming and holding up
high you gorgeous mummas and all you do, day in and day out!!
Good on you.
Whether you need
to work outside the home, area WFHM or a SAHM....more power to
you!! You are absolutely fabulous!!!!
GO TEAM MUMMAS !!
Thanks for
reading this far, Thanks for letting me be vulnerable and sharing my
heart, not an easy thing for me to do.
I am off again
in a few days (once I get them all back into school and work routine) to
go to Melbourne for a long weekend to one of our company's huge
events. This is actually a big deal for me as I have been asked to
appear on one of the panels...up on stage...in front of 2000 people!
Little
old Mumma me!
It's a pretty
big deal. Sadly my fam bam doesn't get it. I am just mum!
Just same old/same old. But I am excited for what this means.
For my personal growth and also my business growth. I am feeling
very honoured and just a bit blessed!
Have an
outstanding week and I'll check in again when I get back into my
Big Girl Mumma Panties :) That's what this life takes
hey!? Pull them up and step out and own it!
Be awesome this
week and show the world just how beautiful and phenomenal you really are!
You're a
Super Hero Mumma
Love Lisa
