#mundanemumdays: week 12
Hi friends!
Welcome back to #mundaymumdays. Yesterday was filled with lots of random moments to keep a busy toddler well, busy.
Most adults: Wow, just another boring day at home in quarantine.
Toddler Lucy: Wow, what a great day. I got all dressed up with no where to go and twirled around in my dress. I read 100 books in my crib tent, I pet my kitty, I did a cool puzzle, I ate lots of yummy food, I baked cookies, I took pictures “just like mama”, I got to play outside in the puddles, and snuggle while mama read me books.
If I’m being honest, I’m with Lucy on this one. It was a great day. The longer this quarantine goes on, the more at peace I am becoming with it. We’ve always lived a slower life, but actually having no where to go takes a lot of the pressure off on what I think I “should” be doing day to day. Before I might feel bad or unproductive or lazy for not leaving the house, but now without that external pressure (a made up story my ego tells me, there aren’t actually any real pressures, I just allow myself to think that there are) I’ve just been really enjoying our time at home. I even have a new found motivation to do a bit more around the house. Overall, I feel happier, despite the world being really heavy. I think it’s important to note that you can feel grief and sadness and anxiety, but also feel more whole and happy at the same time. I’m fully embracing it all.
Anyway, lots of reflection happening around here. Thinking about the lessons I’ve been learning and what I plan to carry forward when this is all “over.” The biggest one: A “boring” day, is anything but.
