7 reasons why I hate the school run.

Hey readers,

I hate the school run, it is a pain the ass. Let me tell you the reasons why below. 

1.The weather.

Let's face it going to pick or drop off your little darlings when it is absolutely pissing it down or raging hot is always fun said no parent ever! Your either blinded by the blazing sun or getting drowned as a rat is often the case. Then you left either sweating or soaked through and cold. 

2. People parking like morans. 

When your trying to walk to school with the kids and the bloody cars are parked on the pavement taking up most of the path so it is extremely difficult to get around when there are also other people going in the opposite direction. Not to mention when cars park in bus lanes because they can't be arsed to make the effort to walk less than probably 5 minutes away from their home or park further away in a suitable spot because it is so lazy. 

3. Kids on scooters and bikes. 

Trying to just get your kids to school is a ball ache but then you have other obstacles to deal with like maneuvering around other children who are on bikes or scooters is fun as sometimes let's just say they are not good in a straight line and it may be a cause of having to jump out of the frigging way in order to be knocked down with everyone staring at you.

4.  Getting out of the door.

Sometimes the hardest part of the school run is the actual getting out of the front door. Kids will forget something, take their time putting on their shoes, or most like mess about with their siblings so they forget that they have a short time to get out of the door and to school. Other than bedtime this time is when they go into a sloth mood and no other time will you will see your child slow right down, sod's law I guess. 

5. Dog poo.

Where I live in an urban area and quite a few people in the neighborhood have dogs which means DOG POO. Quite often owners of dogs where I live haven't got the memo that you need to pick up the poo after the dogs had a shit. Therefore not only are you trying to avoid other children on scooters/bikes your also trying to maneuver around the dog poo. There is nothing more annoying than having dog poo on your show and trying to rub the dame thing off on the grass. 

6. Realising you have forgotten something your child needs. 

There are no many things happening and if your late because you have accidentally *ahem* tapped too many times on the snooze button of the alarm and therefore resemble a headless chicken then chances are you will end up forgetting a form, pe kit, etc. You most definitely have to go back a second trip to take the wanted item in.

7 I look like crap. 

waking up early in the morning, trying to get kids ready for school you forget or don't have the time to get yourself ready especially by the end of the week where you knackered and motivation to do their bare minimum is low so you end up looking like crap but it's ok as your not the only parent at there to crap ;)

Do you resonate with how I feel about the school run? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.

8 ways to improve your self esteem

Hey readers,

self-esteem can really impact your everyday life and the way you feel about tousled. self-esteem is about the way you feel about yourself and the way you talk to yourself. 

Sometimes, it can be asked due to bad experiences and not having enough confidence to have the belief in yourself. On the other hand, if you have positive self-esteem it can help you grow as a person and boost you to take steps to do the things you want to do. 

1. Be nice to yourself.

I know this concept of being nice to yourself can be hard but if you imagine speaking to another person I bet you wouldn't speak to them the way you speak to yourself. It is important to see that you have worth and get in the habit of seeing the positive in yourself. A way to get into this habit of being nice to yourself is by writing a list of positive things that have happened to you.

2. Celebrate the small stuff.

Sometimes it is the small stuff that is important and that should be celebrated. this habit gives you a boast and acknowledges your own self-worth. 

3. Reconise the positives.

It can be hard when you are so used to focusing on the negatives that you forget that there are always positives. Even if it is just one a day it is helpful to start thinking different. Try writing something down each day that is positive that you have done and then by the end of the month look back and amaze yourself at the positives that have happened.  

4. Lower expectations.

It is ok to lower your expectations especially if they are so high you aim for perfection. Let's face perfection is so unrealistic. Be kind to yourself it is ok to do well without being perfect. 

5. Do something kind for someone.

Doing something kind for someone can boost your self-esteem because the person is thankful for the help that you have offered. It is always nice to do something for someone else who can bring joy without wanting anything back. 

6. Change the scenery. 

Sometimes it is good to get away from your regular environment because it is something exciting and can lift your mood. This can help with feeling much more positive and the way you feel especially with yourself. 

7. Mistakes. 

Remember that mistakes happen to everyone and it is ok to make mistakes. Making mistakes doesn't mean you are a failure, life is always a bumpy ride and you have to take what you can from it and learn. 

8. Baby steps.

Sometimes we expect a lot from ourselves that we can get so hung up and potentially just give up altogether. That is why it is so important to appreciate the baby steps as they are key to help you grow and feel better about yourself. I always like to remember that slow and steady wins the race. As long as you are going in the right direction then should be all that is focused on.
