Life of a Mother

If anything, the life of a mother is anything but dull. Yes, there are moments where it may be routine, or monotonous might be a better word. But yet, everyday I am always surprised by the unexpected.

Sometimes one just wants to be held, and only the mama will do. Rare moments like these I feel that I could bask in forever. There is nothing sweeter than snuggling with your babies, especially when they snuggle back.
Other times I feel like I can't possibly go on supervising the constant chaos without taking a little nap first...this was most definitely one of those moments.

This is me pretending to be aware enough to be watching my boys jump off the couch and avoid disaster.

But Bronze -look at that little demon face, while the big brother watches and laughs- is always eager to remind me that chaos will not be ignored due to my exhaustion - greedily taking the opportunity to not so gently yank my hair out, roots and all. Ah yes, motherhood can be tedious, but it will catch you off guard - and frequently too.
