It was the sleep that did it…

…or rather the lack thereof. Free writing, head pillowed on the keys I type. My eyes are doomed to close. I meant to let you know which blogs I nominate for the Reader’s Appreciation Award, however coughs from the darkness have deprived me of coherent thought, concentration has fled with the deserting sun. My child, bless him, has a cold that keeps him snoring, whimpering, crying through the nights. Mummy is here, Mummy is here, the litany of motherhood. We wouldn’t have it any other way. We love them so.
I must beg your patience for another week; it was the sleep that did it…or lack thereof.
Being a mother sometimes takes more than we thought we had to give. And we like it, mostly.
Yes, it is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding responsibilities one can ever undertake. To cherish your children, help guide and protect them. To one day let them leave to make their own way in the world. With all the trials parenthood delivers, we are blessed. If we could add a couple of hours to each day though :)…
Mine are now grown and spending time with them, witnessing what wonderful men they’ve grown into is one of the supreme joys of my life.
You are truly blessed. I look forward to saying the same when mine is grown.
