This may not be the most agareeable start for this blog, but this is life as a relatively new mother. I plan one thing and the children see otherwise.
So I am the proud?! mother of two lovely(certainly) girls, 2 and 7 monts old. So you can understand who runs the show around the house. Everynight I used to go to bed with a one, two, three, etc... steps of the next day planned both in my head and in my FiloFax(or some other equally beautiful brand). But since I became a mother, I just go to bed!! that is if I am lucky.
If I am very fortunate, I manage to get some sleep while I am there!!!
So, today again my little angle (the 7 months old) was in one of her bad moods. So reading is out of the question, watching TV maybe, but can hardly hear anything, in case such as this whether your mothering instincts tell you to care for the child or not, you really have no option but to do so. I mean what else can you manage to do if some one is screeming their head off, the only thing you can do is to fulfill whatever it is they need. Or walk out the door, but I think as a loving mother, that is not an option. So here I am stuck again, at the mercy of my little angle. Which after a while it becomes two angles since the elder, not wanting to be left out of all the attention, decides to participate in the activities by becoming more demanding!!! But what can yo do, they are little, right? helpless little creatures that depend on you for the simplest things in life.
Days like this, the new policy I am adopting is to chill. So they need constant attention, care and so on, OK give it and be done. Play some music in your head, imagine that you are dancing, take it easy, Someone has to be the grown up around here and I guess it has to be me!!! And you know what you can turn everything into a game that everyone enjoys even the little angles.
And after all, they can't stay up forever. Sleep comes for us all. And hopefully I'll manage to get some today.
