Today was a toughie. A majority of the day was spent battling milk,
noodles, toys, baby and toddler. It's one of those days I get dizzy just
wandering around my very small flat, trying to get things into order. I
think I had to seriously talk myself out of just giving it all up and
plopping down infront of the telly with a very cold green tea in my
hands - which i did, at 8pm - twice.
Still, I know I have come
rather far in this motherhood journey - much more to learn though! Just a
couple of years ago, with a baby girl in my arms, I could barely fix
myself a decent lunch. With her permanently latched on, I would searched
google like a madwoman, trying to read up on everything concerning
breastfeeding and babies. Then, i would look to my husband as my hero
when he returned from work and my mortal enemy when he left for work the
next morning. Today, I can manage breakfast, lunch and most things a
toddler needs to thrive. The only thing is that I usually look like a
mad crazy woman when my husband returns from work. You know how some
articles say that wives need to doll up for their husbands? Pffffft.
That's lala land.
That being said, I very much love my day cum
night cum 24/7 job. I love how there's no boundaries between my job and
my personal life and that I get to see my munchkins all the time. And that I can wear my PJs all day. But really, I
wouldn't have come this far without God and my faithful momsy friends
who are there for me each time I think the going gets too tough. It really must be some Godly
intervention to arrange for like minded friends to walk through this
journey with me.
The first mumsy
blog I read was one ranting about her difficulties in breastfeeding.
That brought me so much comfort, to know that there are other mothers
there who are having a hard time with this breastfeeding and parenting
gig. For many days after, I would religiously go through the blog, often
laughing and loud and finding much comfort in this one sided
relationship (ha!).
With this blog, I really hope document my
journey with the children - to have something to read and look back on
in fondness when the house grows quiet and the teenage angst and empty
nest set in. In reading this, I hope that they will know how fun
(fingers crossed) their childhood was and above all, how very much they
are loved.
So here goes! Meanwhile, I'm ending
with some pictures of food because I'm really hungry now. And its
2.30am, so randomness is allowed.
