Bubbles Which Don't Always Go Pop

This past week something happened. The little bubble in which my little family resides wobbled. It wobbled about so violently, it threatened to pop. So I told myself we need to stay low and huddle together in the middle, and our bubble will stabilize; it would no longer wobble; it wouldn't pop. In our little bubble everyone huddled together, but the bubble continued to wobble. I didn't get it...I thought we were huddling together, doing what we could to keep our little world intact. I felt confused and disoriented, I felt as though I wasn't doing all I could to protect the little bubble in which my little family resides.
This past week I have had a feeling of discontent and uttered many grumbles. Its as though I have had the worlds troubles balanced squarely on my shoulders. Something did not feel right in my little bubble.
Then, after a monster grumble, I saw it...Mamma was so busy running around trying to please the people of her world and look after their every whim, that the bubble still wobbled. The bubble was never going to stabilize if Mamma didn't stay low and huddle with her family. Mamma had to be a part of the huddle.

And so this is my first blog post in a number of days. I have had a million and one things I have wanted to say, but this day, I knew I had to listen. To me.
I am one of those people who try and see the positives in anything. I can rationalize most things. I am great at giving advice and listening to others. I try to be perfectly polite as often as I can be. I also try to help as many people as humanly possible. I am generally a nice person which something I am proud of. I am also as tired as your average stay at home Mum. I get tired, I get lonely, I get bored. This happens rarely, but it does happen. Occasionally. And in a previous post, I wrote about how good we all have it. I stand by that. We do. But I think its also OK sometimes to say, 'You know what? I know I have the perfect life, but I'm fed up. I'm tired, I'm weary and I need a break.'
So wherever you are, whoever you are. Whatever you're doing or supposed to be doing whilst reading my latest post...just know that its OK to let it all hang out sometimes. It's OK to steal a few moments for your self, it's OK to say all is not well in your world sometimes and it's OK to know that although you may not be huddled with your family all of the time, your bubble will not pop.
