I basically had to say to work that if they didn't cut my shifts, that I would have to leave, because I just couldn't do it. I hated feeling like I was half of the mother I should be.<br />Hope you can find your balance again soon lovely. You've got such huge heart, wanting to help everyone. That kind of love is always going to bless you and everyone else, no matter what you do. xxEssentiallyJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372695554793237026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137486548457649315.post-87310616561373065282013-11-23T21:12:25.715+11:002013-11-23T21:12:25.715+11:00It is hard sometimes to accept we just can't d...It is hard sometimes to accept we just can't do it all.

Working is hard enough at the best of times. Working and being a mum at the same time can be exhausting, physically and emotionally, especially if you are doing night shifts. There is so much pressure put on us to be anything and everything. I really like that David Allen quote - I think that's something all mums can relate to at some time. I think it's important to be able to recognise the warning signs of exhaustion and take a step back when they crop up. I think it's also really important to spend some part of the week completely and utterly alone. I know - easier said than done! Hope you get some good rest and feel better soon. xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750195813761527673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137486548457649315.post-65994819431511500792013-11-19T16:55:48.791+11:002013-11-19T16:55:48.791+11:00Wow that is such a hard question to answer.

We always feel better when things are up to date and we are back in control. It is hard balancing work, mum, home, wife etc etc. Kids are very understanding. Hope you have a better week next week. Do something fun! :) Cheers, TanyaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839024984118135715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137486548457649315.post-68722923052041585632013-11-19T14:42:49.183+11:002013-11-19T14:42:49.183+11:00Learning to say no was the biggest and hardest thi...Learning to say no was the biggest and hardest thing that I did to get the balance right for us.<br />Sending heaps of love, huge hugs and positive energy your way !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.com
