#mundanemumdays: week 7
Hey all,
Hope everyone is hanging in there in these strange and historic days. If I’m being honest I’ve been feeling a little numb to it all. I think it’s my brains way of protecting itself. I allowed myself to breakdown when we came to the realization that Mitch was out of work, but other than that, I’ve been a mix of numb/avoiding/anxious. None of us know how long this is going to last, or what lies ahead, and its hard to process, so I’ve been choosing not to. Healthy? Not really. Necessary? Maybe for now. I’m allowing myself to feel however I need to feel right now without guilt because this is uncharted territory for all of us.
I don’t have much uplifiting to say this week, and I hope thats ok. I think my last photo kind of paints a picture of how we are all feeling lately. Toddlers don’t hold back their emotions and neither should we. And for anyone that needs to hear it, It’s ok not to be ok right now.
I hope these images give you a welcome distraction from this crazy life and bring you a little joy. If I am grateful for one thing it is this little gem of a being who brings so much laughter and love into these dark and weary days.
