Some days ...
Some days I feel in control of life, and other days I'm clocking the hours until the children are in bed.
Some days I feel lonely, super lonely, and other days I'm filled with friendship.
Some days I lash out at my husband because I wonder what's in this for me, and other days I know for sure that I'm the glue that holds our little family together.
Some days I make lists and cross every item off that list, and other days I don't even put pen to paper.
Some days I'm really selfish, and other days all I want is to be with my girls.
Some days the pain of Art grinds me to a crying halt, and other days I hold on tight and will not let the pain define me.
Some days girl number one makes me feel so physically tired, and other days all I want to do is play on the floor with her.
Some days I leave my kitchen a mess before bed, and other days I construct a new policy with myself to clean it because it feels so much better in the morning.
Some days I feel like a lazy arsed mother, and other days I fill the day with activity upon activity.
Some days I feel like I have lost my intellectual drive, and other days I think up new plans and read the newspaper back-to-front.
Some days girl number two makes me ache, and other days I snuggle because I know that she is definitely my last.
Some days I promise to myself that tomorrow I'll do life like this, this and this, and other days I couldn't wish for a better future.
Some days I don't neaten, and other days I make all the beds in the house before I open the curtains.
Some days I lack any inspiration from anyone, and other days I feel empowered by so many people around me.
Some days ...

Shan your "some days" (with he exception of Art) are the EXACT same as mine. It's as if you wrote what was in my head. It brought tears of relief to my eyes that I am not the only one. xo Sarah
Ladies - you are never alone in the world of Inklings Ink. We all feel this way at times - don't we? We are just brave enough to admit it to ourselves. With you on the journey ladies. xo
I think your sentiments are same as any Mum. Being a Mum, Housemaid, Teacher,Taxi driver Referee, Confident and a lover is all about being plain Mum but the rewards are there for you to take Nothing feels better than when a child puts their arms around you and tells you that they love you
