The Gallery - Something I am proud of...


This week the theme of The Gallery is 'Something I am proud of'.

Yes, really.... I have chosen, Me.

I am of course as any parent, proudest of my daughter but that seemed too easy so here we go....

I am proud of myself. (I feel a bit like I am at AA saying that out loud.)

I am proud of my mothering skills.
I am proud of my ability to smile during chaos.
I am proud of the patience I show when other people act like arseholes.
I am proud of my career, of holding it down while being a mother to a toddler.
I am proud of my history. The tough decisions I have made; of my ability to get through seemingly impossible times.
I am proud of myself.

    You really are too cool Mrs!
    I admire you for putting yourself up as what you are proud of (after T-Lo of course) and for holding down a career and looking after your toddler I don't think I would manage and look so fabulous at the same time x

    Here here, being a working Mum is hard work, you have very right to be proud of yourself!

    I think it's great...we forget about ourselves all the time and don't give ourselves enough credit for achievements...it's like they say on a plane "put your own oxygen mask on first before you help others"

    I agree! we are proud of our kids, but we should also be proud of us, because both life and motherhood aren't easy, are they? (beautiful photo btw)

    Well done you, could I have some of your patience? To balance a career and motherhood is something that isn't coming easily to me so I really admire that!! How women spin all these plates I've yet to figure out.
