Talk shows are depressing
My mom's on vacation now for her leg surgery and
has been having control over the television. Not that I care..
I barely watch and mainly read my books.
But I watched Dr. Phil yesterday. There was a 24 year old mother who had
4 kids under the age of 4.
She didn't wake up until 4:30 p.m. everyday and stayed out till 4 a.m.
Not working. Not taking care of her children.
I don't notice anymore, but Grey truly takes up my whole day.
It revolves around him. I wake up, breastfeed. Then I let him watch
PBS and play in his playpen. I smoke and enjoy a little of the internet.
I maybe get 30 to 45 minutes of this.
We go back to bed to breastfeed some more and get our morning nap.
Sometimes that works..and he sleeps for an hour. Most of the time
it doesn't, and we have breakfast together.
Go back to bed, and get our nap.
He sleeps for 2 hours, where I try to fit in doing something around the house.
Or I relax and read my book.
He wakes up. Usually a poopy diaper is in the mix, and we have lunch.
Breastfeed. Play around.
Around 3-4 it's the fight to get sleep. On special occasions it happens..most
of the time not..and we are up at 5 to have dinner.
Bathtime. Sleep at 6:30 to 7 pm.
He is down for the night.
I can't think of a time I don't have time to myself besides him sleeping.
I can't see how this mom couldn't do that. And I only have one! I can't
imagine with 4. Not even in my worst nightmares. That is...crazy.
I realize I'm a good mom. A damn good one. But it still depresses me
that I have this sorry excuse of a mother to compare with.
eh. ♥
Oh..and a picture. This was on mother's day and our cousin
Sally gave both me and Nina(my sister) matching outfits for our sons.
Here is Grey..my 9-month old son.(I believe I mentioned him?) And my
little over 2 months old nephew Colin Liam O'Brien.
