There are times where the kids will simply drive you up the wall... Especially when I am faced with the mess created by Lucas and his toys and the huge pile of laundry created by Lewis. Worse when there are sleepless nights and all Lewis wants is to chit-chat with me... and when Lucas pukes all over the mattresses...
All I can do is to stare helplessly at the mess and pray that I can keep the house as neat as possible using the least efforts..
These days whenever I am on maternity leave (leftovers from the 4 months), my days begin with ferrying Lewis to Ah Gong n Ah Ma's house, followed by breakfast with Lucas before sending him to the childcare centre.
Once I hit home, the cleaning begins by first packing the rooms and the toys... At the same time, the washer will be humming its little song... Then it is to sweep the floor and this is almost a must every other day given the post-natal hair fall I have... And I super hate this cos there are forever strands of hair on the floor and I gets edgy at the sight of hairs on the floor... =.='''
Then it will be time to send Lewis to his play-gym which I never have time to do so on weekends unlike Lucas' time..
After play gym, I will pop by Daddy's workplace to have lunch with him and that will be 2.30 pm liao... After lunch, I have probably less than 2 hours of me time including time required to shower and check the laundry...
Before I know it, I am out of the house to fetch Lucas from the centre and he will usually insist on following me home which I have to drag him over to Ah Gong n Ah Ma house.. =.='''
Then I will hit home again to pack the bags for the next day and again, it will be time to fetch the boys once Daddy Sky reaches home after work... (Not forgetting the time needed in between to pump milk...)
Some days I really wish that I have 48 hours a day to do all the above and more time for myself.. Haha but I guess it will be a while before things can be more manageable and I am definitely looking forward to that...
Ok, those are the complaints & whining... There is always this tinge of happiness looking at my boys.. When they watch television programs together:
Chit-chat with Lucas who forever has interesting thoughts for me... Looking at Lewis who forever flashes his mega-watt smiles...
Someone told me - it must be in blood of Singaporeans to complain n whine.. and whenever people ask ' how are you?', it is a competition of who is worse off...And I can't help but agree whole-heartedly that it is the case... Haha.. cos more than half of this post is complains n whinings...
But I am glad that after speaking to this someone, I am making a mental note to tell people how much I am enjoying motherhood with the challenges aside... ^^
And all I hope is for my boys to enjoy their childhoods and for me to spend as much time as possible enjoying being their mommy... v(^.^)
