Being here is a miracle

Today is Friday. Usually I have a long list of things to do, from minding the kids to making sure the house is spotless. But I woke up craving laziness, I didn't write on my to do list I did not push the kids to do their chores. All I wanted to do was sit in my bet and binge watch episodes on my favorite shows. I ate my breakfast in bed and I did not wake up to go wash the dishes. I know that decision will probably haunt me later but wow it feels so good to just be here. I feel good for being irresponsible today, I don't know what came over me, but Super Mom had to go just for this moment. I am grateful for being here right now, it feels like a miracle to me. Many times we pressurise ourselves to get things done, like there is someone marking the register looking for bad moms who don't do their work . Why do we do that? Why do we put so much on our heads that we miss the precious moments we can have with each other? So just for today I want to say you are allowed to be lazy, you are allowed to be a "bad mom" for a moment. Don't worry tomorrow we will come back to reality and deal with the consequences of our behavior. It's just how life is, unpredictable - Avuyile Mngxitama-Diko #rookielifecoach
