My day basically is all about my girls. It is no longer so tiring, now that my youngest is 2 years 7 months, but still plenty of work. Not to mention all the required attention you need to provide for them and the on going effort to teach and nurture. But still easier than having to deal with a nursing infant at the same time.
Though on days like today, when one of them is sick things seem to get difficult again. I feel more stressed and nervous not just because of the extra work, but also because I am worried about the sick child.
So today between the extra work, the doctor visit and the emotional stress. Come evening I am extremely exhausted. So I make a cup of coffee and sit with my laptop sipping it, for those who don't know, coffee is soothing and stimulating all at once (coming from an addict). So while I am having my coffee and my three darlings watching some TV and having their bed time snack, my youngest calls me, repeatedly, and I answer thinking there goes my coffee, but instead she says: "I love you mummy" and I find my self all recharged and willing to do it all over again.
Those priceless moments in our lives make it all worthwhile.
The laughter of our young ones. The lovely things they say and do. And recently my girls have been showing me more and more of those lovely gestures that just open your heart and brighten your day.
