I've have so much to say.... I just don't have time. If I'm being honest, this would be blog attempt #4. The thing is, life happens, kids take over and then I just lose interest. So I decided that this time around, my kids would be my topic of choice. Parenting can be so challenging and wonderful all at the same time that a blog is a much needed outlet for both the mom posting and the moms reading.
So I'll just start. I haven't had time to figure out all of Bloggers features so bare with me here. If this blog continues, I'll do my due diligence and adjust as I go. My time is short for posting and I do not prep in advance. To be precise I probably have exactly 20 minutes left before the twins wake up from their nap.
Right, I guess I should mention my kids. I have three of them, hence my blog title "Mother of Three, Master of None". James, my oldest is 4 going on 15. Do you remember your parents telling you how the stunts you pulled as a kid would have never been allowed when they your age?...Ya, I get that now. Jamie ( I call him Jamie) has this knack of making me feel like an incompetent parent. I'm highly emotional and he is highly logical. Fun times. The twins, Alexandre and Lily, are seven months now. Alex is a sensitive little mama's boy through and through and Lily is chill like her father and has him wrapped around her finger. I call them my Ying Yang twins. Ironic, because they are half Chinese. Except for Jamie. He's decided that he's Irish like mommy these days. He'll revert back to Chinese like daddy soon enough.
These three are my lifeline, my soul, my greatest joy. But like all young parents, they are also the reason behind every sleepless nights, anxiety attacks and pre-mature aging. When I talk to friends with no kids, I think of myself as birth-control. One look at me and suddenly they get the urge to by condoms. That's what happens when you are one of the first to have kids amongst your friends. No one in your circle can tell you what REALLY happens on the other side and someone eventually has to take the plunge. It's usually the eager mommy beaver... (that was me) You are welcome friends!
Jokes aside, I am happy being a mom.... I've also had my morning coffee and the twins are still asleep so it's easy to ponder on the beauty of motherhood. Scratch that, Alex just woke up and my time is up.
Quick not before I revert back mommy-slave-mode; I promise this blog to be about the candour of motherhood. We all need to hear it because its not always roses. I like to joke as well so at least it won't always be serious. K, now Lily is awake. Gotta go!
