A Rest from the Nest

This week, I have noticed a pattern from the Mammies I train, partly because they’re getting stuck into their training, and for some it is just simply not having enough hours in the day to do the things they feel they need to do. Mother’s guilt is prevalent right now!!! As people are really into the swing of their training, they are beginning to enjoy the little snippet of themselves that may have gone amiss recently…..not being mammy or wife for a couple of hours a week and doing something that is just for them. I often feel this way myself, and more than ever right now as I am busier with work and embracing running again. I have been spending a lot of time in the past fortnight working out when I can go for a run or to the gym without it affecting my time with the little ones. For me, this is mostly when they are sleeping, at nursery or at their child minders. Somehow I find the time, and oh how it is worth finding, a few hours each week to be myself makes me better at being Mammy, wife and friend to those around me. So this week I thought I’d write a little poem for all those Mammies who need a little ‘me time’. Enjoy xxx
