A mothers job is never done. We learn this as our children become older even after they leave the nest they are still around ( my mother knows this :) ). We as women never stop growing and learning more about ourselves everyday, from having a child , to caring for the family, to pushing our bodies , our minds to the limits. We as women are list takers, mulitaskers, baby sitters, taxi drivers, psychologists, therapists, the list goes on and on and on. Our job is never done. On top of the payless mothers job some of us have jobs that do not bring us joy but money to help suport our kids and family. I am one of those moms, some times as mothers we get stuck , stuck in the daily life of drop offs, work , pickups, gym, dinner , cleaning, bed, our life becomes boring the samething every day. Recently last week I was asked to work the fair by my neighbor. I outweighed the good and the bad and the burden it would put on my family between getting rides to the fair, finding sitters and thankfully I have the best family ever from my very own mother, my boyfriend and my grandparents for helping me take on an extra job for a few days, i honestly believe that me working the fair is the best decision I have made this year, but I am not doing it for the money I am doing it for me.
I have become stressed, very stressed at my everyday job, bored with my after job life and just needed change. For the past couple months I was contemplating on changing jobs as I have been stuck in a stressful life that I want to break away from, this always seems to happen to me after working with a company for over 4 years , it happened at my last job, the job before that so on so forth. I get bored since they are not jobs where you interact with different people on a day to day life and its always the same coworkers. I love working with people serving, making them happy its like a drug, I have always had a knack for it but unfortunatly that lifestyle never fit in to bills and now my own life style with a child. So thankfully having the best support from my own family, i took on the fair even if it is working till 2 am then going into my everyday job at 7-8 am . When I am there working sales, i am so excited to get that rush crowd, people over crowding wanting merchandise, it makes me so happy to do it, I love it!!! Its the small short term change I need in my life to go back to my everyday job and have less stress. I do have to say I have been in a better mood than before .
So I give you a challenge if you are bored with your current routine be it lifestyle, exercise etc do something different, even if its for one day. Just a little bit of change in our every day routine will change you even if its something small. Go somewhere, take a day trip, shopping trip, take a short term job, explore, geocatch, discover your town, eat at a new restaurant, take a new class. Sometimes a small chance is all we need. Go by yourself if you have to , sometimes if you bring family its more stressful than need by.
Keep up the good work everyone. Till Next time Live, Laugh, Love
