Random Research Girl

Truly inspiring story. For all the worrying “ifs” out there… Meet the 16 year old girl who seemed not to think much about “ifs” in her life when she set for her record braking journey.  Jessica Watson.

Sometimes I think I would love to set for such a sailing vayage, to get away from daily chores, kids fighting, kitchen gymnastics, scratched knees, runny noses and all that stuff. Being alone surrounded by waters only seems like an unachievable luxury in a mom’s busy life.
The only journey I can get right now is to put kids to beds, and then after they fall asleep, set for the kitchen in a super comfy robe, grab a cup of hot chocolate, and sail away on an adventure with some great book, and then, in the morning be back again.  Sleepy and Tired.

It's a drawing I am currently working on... talking about subconsciousness!

And the above drawing is exactly what I have in my life right now. Overcrowded. Do you see poor Noah squeezed into the corner of the boat and all these big and noisy animals happy as they can be? You get the picture I’m sure. Being a mom can be such an overwhelming thing.
And then you get to worry about all the “ifs” in your and your kids life. Mostly your kids. What if they don’t do well at school? What if they get bullied? What if … and so on.
As for the perks… well, you get to love so big as you never ever imagined you could.

Wish you happy and safe homecoming, Jess!
