I was working

I'm a little late, but
good morning, everyone!

How did you spend your three-day weekend?

I took a break from writing notes, and
spent time resting and taking care of my family~♪

Last week, I felt emotionally shaken by work, and
influenced by my environment, so I was feeling quite tired.

Don't push yourself. Ask for advice. Rest.
I've learned from experience that if I'm not stable myself,
it's difficult to support others.

Once I rested, my energy was immediately recharged,
and I was able to feel better and enjoy the long weekend!😊

Even though the problems themselves haven't changed at all,
I'm glad I was able to recover the physical and mental strength
to face them again♪

I still feel like I'm easily shaken,
so I'll keep monitoring myself,
and try to keep things balanced♡😊

At times like this, I find myself crying easily,
getting tired quickly, or being easily hurt,
so it's easy for me to tell, haha.

Anyway, now that I've reset,
I was playing the role of a mother at my daughter's house♪

The November long weekend is school festival season!✨

My daughter, who belongs to a school festival organizing club,
was busy from morning until night💦

She had no time for housework,
and the way she was using her nerves is just like me,
I understand it all too well😅

My other daughter seems busy with birthday celebrations💧

It's time for Mom to step in! (I'm coming to help!✨)

I volunteered to take care of my daughters♪😊

Please come over~😭
You're a lifesaver~✨
Thank you~♡😭

They were so happy,
and it seemed like they felt reassured,

so I felt my heart warm up,
glad that I could be of help~✨🥰

The piled-up laundry, the dishes,
the cleaning, the meal prep, and so on...

I worked at full capacity, I really did my best!✨

While I was at it, I did the seasonal clothing change,
and like a deep clean, I made the range hood, the bathroom,
and the whole house sparkling clean♪

I made some meals to store,
and doing all this caretaking is hard work, but
somehow, I was feeling happy and joyful...

I even patted myself on the back,
thinking what a good mother I am, haha♪

Is this being overprotective?

Depending on who is looking,
it might look like overprotectiveness or spoiling them.

But for me,
I think it's just responding to the situation,

I lent a hand when it was needed♡

I was able to let them lean on me
when it was the right time to do so!

In particular, this is my main point! ☺️

Because I myself was unable to be dependent
when I wanted to be in situations like this,

having someone I can depend on,
and having someone who can be a source of strength,
is very reassuring, makes me happy, and allows me to feel at ease♡

Because I have experienced my own hardships,
rather than looking with a critical eye, I want to be a source of strength...

And, they are not daughters who
depend on me selfishly and willfully,

but girls who properly face their own inner selves,
and I know from conversations with them and from seeing them
that they spend their days struggling and finding ways to cope.

How much of a salvation and comfort it is
to have someone stand by you and be a source of strength,

is something I craved
when I was the same age as my daughters...

Somehow, because that feeling enters unconsciously,
I end up wanting to be a kind parent, a kind mother♡

Even if others see it
and think it's overprotective or spoiling, that's fine.

I am building a bond between myself and my daughters
with my own philosophy of education✨😊

So, with that said,
it was a long weekend where I got energized, worked,
and although I'm tired, I feel happy❤️

At work, I think there will still be ups and downs, but
there are people around me
who support me and stand by me
in various places, you know♪

I can do this♡

This note is the same too✨

Well then, let's do our best this week too!

Right?♪
