Five Years of Mothering (28th February 2025)

 

I’m struggling to write

I am avoiding writing

I just feel meh

A bit overwhelmed

A bit underwhelmed

I am unable to write

Something profound

About motherhood.

I just want to melt into bed

And watch rubbish TV

And do Portuguese crosswords

And nap on and off

And eat my favourite snacks

(Without someone else grabbing at them)

And read Eurovision trivia

And be free of responsibility

Just for a little bit.
