So I am new to blogging, but it is something I have wanted to do for a while now. I think that this is a great way to unwind and express how you are feeling, to let others know how you cope with your daily struggles and let people in on the funniness of your life...
So I have two beautiful children myself, my partner has one child with me and another child with his ex partner, life is fantastic and we love every second we get with our three beautiful children - however at times, like any children, they can be very testing.
My little boy turned 1 yesterday, he has had a week full of excitement with us being away last week and then his first birthday celebrations, all of this caused at 4.30am start to the day today... 4.30am!!! Does he not realise this is basically the middle of the night?! Oh and how I have to get through the WHOLE day without napping like he gets to... so entertain him from 4.30am, breastfeed, breakfast play time, get ready, get him ready, get him to childcare and get myself to work by 8.30am.... plenty of time as he got me up nice and early of course.... but by the time most people have been up 1-2 hours, I have already done 4.... So here at work with not much to do, I count down until 4pm, the end of my day excited to get home, however I will not be resting of course. I can see it now, leave at 4pm get baby boy, get home, give him dinner, bath him, get him ready for bed, and again another dose of his magic breast milk, then bed for him.... As all of you mum's know you won't get to rest then.... make dinner for my partner and I, sort stuff for the next day, oh and get ready to go and host my FREE running group.... gosh I need determination and energy today, luckily I use supplements to make sure I get what I need and to get me through the day.
Of course, this has been an easier day as my daughter is at her dads and my partners daughter is at her mums, so only had to worry about our baby boy.
Funniest thing is, sitting here reflecting and guessing so far I haven't even realised that from 4.30am until I left at 7.30am, my partner was in bed..... in bed I tell you..... but then I guess I would rather that then deal with the grumpiness form his tiredness later on :-P Please tell me I'm not alone here on this mums. I find as the female species, we get tired, but we continue, we snap at people when we are tired, we apologise we continue, we probably even do this wrong, upset people or are mean when we are tired, but we APOLOGISE and we continue, but when a man is tired its THE END OF THE WORLD is it not? I'm not just referring to my own partner here, he is a fantastic dad, albeit a grumpy one in the mornings or if he is tired... but I mean with MEN in general, around the office, out on a daily basis, you can spot a tired man from 100 miles away.
Despite being a bit tired, I have had a couple of cups of my thermojectic tea and I'm now buzzing with energy and looking forward to the day ahead, and again reflecting, thinking of how strong we are as mums and how we get through our days. I strongly believe you think positively and positive things will happen, stay focused on what you want and always work hard to achieve this, that way you are always one step closer to your goal than you were yesterday.
Mummies be happy, YOU ARE AMAZING
