I fell pregnant with Seb at the age of nineteen. I didn't feel that young at the time, like i new i was young but i fekt ready to be a mother. I look back now i think omg i was soo young!
Only one short year into my adult life, id only had my licence for a year, J still did most of the driving. I was at uni or work all day so J and i would do groceries together, we did everything together.
Fast forward nearly five years later, and i guess you could say I've turned into a proper adult. I dont know what it is about kids, they give me purpose. I have to do groceries so they can eat nutritious food, i have to take them out of the house to stimulate them, i want to do educational things to teach them. I have to do most of these things alone because J is working, i do all the 'adult' errands while he is away so we have more time to do fun activities while he is home. My daysare filled with gym, errands, play dates, cooking and cleaning.
So what happens when i get a free day?
This is something that is happening more and more lately. Seb is gone 5 days a fortnight for kindy, Daisy has started day care a day a week and they have started going to their grandparents together. These days leave me alone, something i havent ever really been and on short notice when i have no plans except to be mum. I'm trying to enjoy the piece and quiet, to revel in the alone time, to read or watch a movie. To do things that are slightly impossible with two crazy kids.
