This is me, welcome to my chaos.
I’ve come to realise I was living in carer burnout. I was working multiple jobs, trying to meet my children’s needs. All of this caught up to me because for some reason or another I have had this image of myself all my life, buying a house, having the nice car, the career, the two parent family, you know the drill.

But in wanting all those things, I lost myself, the very person I’ve always relied on, the things that have always been the most important to me, being a good parent, a stable homemaker, even being just simply happy and me.

I was running that race to the things that I have always measured my worth by; it would run through my head things like ‘They have a house but I don’t, I must be doing something wrong’, I always compared myself to people that are my age or younger that have those what I believed where all important. It was an unfair comparison, and one that I found was taking away those things I have finally woken up to that.

I am a single parent of four boys all of whom have high needs, I am a homeschooling mother this was not by choice but need, funny enough now I am glad and grateful for it, I work, I write and I am on a personal mission to bring back into my life the things that I have lost over time, my joy of a simple life that I have chosen for myself.

So that’s what this is about me finding my joy, doing the things that interest me and things that I want to learn. It’s the beginning of my journey to find my happy.

I like to write about homeschooling, urban homesteading, upcycling, learning new skills, baking, general life chaos and my ADHD brain dump.

I am going on a personal mission, objective: locate thyself.
