An atypical morning....

Good Morning

It's 9am and my baby (9 mths old) has just gone down for his morning nap, and my oldest (3 yrs old) is babbling in his room. I used the last 30 minutes to shower, watch some news that I don't want my 3 yr old to see and surf the net (which my 3 yr old seems not to like me to do lately).

I think that anyone reading this has had those mornings where you don't want the peace and quiet to end, you secretly don't want to go get your son out of bed in hope to have a little more "me time" - well the secrets out and I wanted to share it. It's Friday morning and I haven't read the Sunday paper yet, I have a stack of Parenting magazines (Parents, BabyTalk, Parenting etc...) that I have to rifle through, even though they all say the same thing, otherwise I feel like I'm throwing away money, and there are toys everywhere even though I felt like I cleaned up last night before going to bed - It's a never ending cycle!

I LOVE being a Mom - but some days I just want to scream and hide. I think that is normal - I'd be sad to find out that it's not. My 3 year old is driving me crazy these days - he acts out to get attention and every time I'm on the phone, on the computer or doing anything not directly related to him I can be sure he'll throw something at his brother, break something, or otherwise guarantee that he gets the attention he wants.

I should go - I really do have to get my son up - he should have breakfast.
