Kids are overwhelming part of my life. But not always is this life so joyful. There are hard days when I need to fight with my own emotions and still be graceful. I go nuts when kids mispell a word or gobble a couple of words in sentence. I freak out when they mess up math or spill milk on table.I go wild when they lack focus on things they do. I go crazy when I see working moms around for I am also a very qualified mom with no real job. The pressure builds up and blasts. Victims?? Yes.. a couple of those tiny creatures. But at the end of the day, they don't remember anything of that. All they need is a cuddle and kiss to dive into sleep. Acceptance is an important lesson I keep teaching myself. They are a part of me, a little humps and bumps is fine. All I want to teach them is to be a good human being with enough kindness and the let-it-go behavior. We have super computers to do rest of the job!
Yeah being mom is tough. I too learn each day like them. I make hundred promises to myself to keep my factory running with full swing. Mom's job is always round the clock. One work lined up after another. Kitchen sink never shy of dirty dishes, laundry always overflowing, house always needing cleanup, tiny tummies always wanting to be fed, little monsters wanting playdates! To add to the already blowing list, mom's want to feed their brains too. Searching and researching to get the best worksheets and classes is on top of the list. But it's very essential to take a break to keep your sanity intact. Break for me is not a big vacation. I just love an off from the kitchen for part of the day or I never care how messy is the home. I bring peace in myself and save some energy, relax for a while and get on foot again!
Even though there are numerous reasons that bring me down, that smile on their faces is sufficient to keep me alive.
Kids are a joy, a blessing. They will outgrow this age, very soon. Every moment is very important, for us as moms. The noises, cries and the arguments in cute voices will all be gone. The demands for yummy food and begging for little playtime will end too. The homes are going to be neat and tidy forever. Bedtime reading and laughter, little cuddles and kisses will be over. So, I want to hold on to this moment forever and live it over and over again.
