Yes.........finally after so many months of MIA, this mummy is back. I was so busy with the renovation, moving and adjusting that I was too tired to blog. But I'm back not with pictures of my darlings at this moment. Please let me lament about my recent stress that I'm facing. I'm without a helper again and the perpetual washing, cleaning, feeding, resolving conflicts, enduring two toddlers struggling with immense stranger anxiety and sibling jealousy have been driving me nuts. There were so many times that I asked "how long more?" Is it 9pm already?
Yesterday, I just found extreme comfort when my dearest Valerie gave me the longest hug that I ever needed. My tears just flowed. I was trying to hold all together and her empathy somehow sensed that mummy needed some encouragemnet. She praised my cooking and that really eased all the "pain" away.
I'm rereading this book that I read 6 years ago!!!! Mommy's locked in the bathroom by Cynthia Sumner. This book saved my sanity when my firstborn was so colicky and had bowel diffculties then. Now, I needed it ever more since I'm struggling with 3 children. I need to get my perspective back in order to survive this motherhood. According to Cynthia, "An acquired skilled in mothering is the ABILITY TO GO OVER THE TOP EVEN WHEN YOUR UPPER LIMIT HAS BEEN REACHED."
Please pray for this mummy to overcome my children early years and may God grant me ever more strength, hope, love, creativity, joy and heaps of patience in this tough mothering journey. May I learn to let go the inevitable irritations and learn to laugh with them. while raising them.
" Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will giveyou rest." Matthew 11:28-29
