Reflections of a Work at Home Mom #Vol. 4

Why do we find it easier to throw the ball to someone else’s court than to learn what to do with it?

Sunday, February 27th

Things aren’t any better with my head and my stomach. It’s really starting to annoy me.

Big O enjoys the English kindergarten so much, she’s always acting out at home, pretending she’s the teacher and repeating the names of her friends. They are all girls (She doesn’t care for boys at all…. at least for now) and they’re getting along really well!?

Monday, February 28th?

I (usually) love to work. It keeps me busy, it gives me purpose and direction, it helps me understand my inner desires and formulate my goals.?

BUT, when you have two little talkers and you’re being summoned for every little thing, it kinda makes you become the ultimate multitasker.??

I remember how when I was student, constant noise or chatter would make me nervous and unable to grasp things I had to read. Ooooh, the funny days!

Now, it’s impossible to work if there’s no background noise. And I’m loving my background noise, on most days….on Mondays.?

It's March already...where did the time go??

New month and a new beginning for me (in a way). Taking steps to more stability, hopefully.?

Work has been great lately, we have been tackling some serious topics, expanding our networks. We're making progress, it seems.?

It's one doctor’s office visit for Big O today. I got a 15-minute monologue about taking care of my child too much. For some, being a parent means caring too much. Like that's even a thing.?

Wednesday, March 2nd

Another visit to the doctor’s office for Big O. This one's on M. He's better at communicating with doctors, calmer.?

I just hope Little O falls asleep before my meeting starts. She's been very difficult to handle recently. And now I know why, it's the teeth. I've seen two pointy whites in her lower jaw as she laughed at me the other day.?

Thursday, March 3rd

Looking forward to Saturday and going to NS to see my teammates! Also can't help but think about what might happen to affect my plans. Fingers crossed it's nothing.?

Yesterday our good friend K from Poland texted us. She talked about the war, the people coming to Poland, the shelters, the entire situation….she sounded worried. She thinks they might attack Poland, too.?

I've got no words of consolation for her.

Friday, March 4th?

Nothing to write about today.?

Saturday, March 5th?

Today I’m on the road. I thought that I had to tend to my kids, but in reality, it's me who needs help dealing with her separation anxiety.?

What is it with mothers and their fear of leaving their kids for a few days? Is it just me or are we really THAT incapable of allowing someone else to take care of our babies for a while??

Yours truly,?
