Sleep I love you

To my dearest, most wonderful sleep,

I love you. You are my friend.

You dreamily take me to far away places where everything is fluffy, cosy and warm. You embrace me tightly like a warm hug from a long lost relative. You relax me, soothe, me and leave me feeling bright and zingy ready to start another day.

Sleep I want you to know I miss you, and you are not forgotten. I've had to forsake you for a little while as I tend to my babies and write my blog. But please do not fret we will be reunited again soon and when we are I will never take you for granted again. I will respect and cherish you and keep you close, for without you life would be is impossible and I could well am going insane.

So until we meet again. 

Yours always

There are not enough hours in the day.

My last few posts have followed a similar vein, I'm not sure what is going on but it is so frustrating. I am so FRUSTRATED.

It can't help that I'm quite impatient. Everything needs to be done now, immediately. This INSTANT. I've got a million things to do and the time is always running away from me.

Take yesterday for example.

Day starts. Feed the children, wash the children, dress the children, entertain the children, soothe crying baby.

Housework. Make up the beds, load the dishwasher, do the laundry, hoover up, soothe crying baby. Put away the laundry, tidy up, tidy up again, then tidy up some more, referee a squabble, make lunch, eat lunch, make bottles, change nappies, soothe crying baby.

Debate whether to go out. Shocking weather, decide not to go out. Reason with defiant toddler, discipline defiant toddler, respond to the question 'Why?' from an inquisitive 4 year old for the millionth time, make dinner, eat dinner, children brush teeth, read children story, children say prayers, soothe crying baby, children to bed.

Carry out research online for blog, write blog, think of ways to promote blog, blog, blog, blog, blog...by this time it's usually past midnight!!!

I'm working myself into a frenzy here. There is too much to do, I need to slow down, but I don't want to. Not really. I am enjoying the freedom that writing brings, but with three small children it's a juggling act.

Got to push through. I can do this!
