The Mommy Schedule


That is a real yawn, Los Angeles is just never satisfied, where is our winter, we say, where is our rain, this desert sun just drains us, and I am yawning.  Mother's never really get a day off, a minute off, a second off, even when the kids are sleeping or with a sitter or in school, our brain is busy planning what is next.

My last two nights have been tough, for some reason my baby is fighting sleep at night, today I took him for his fourth follow up visit to the doctor, and he still has fluid in his ears, someone said it may be allergies, so the doctor decided to address that and see us back in a month.  Overall he is in good spirits, but the nights are tough. I never get headaches, Thank God, but for the past two nights I got nagging ones that are exacerbated by the sun and lack of sleep.  Luckily I have been able to take a half hour power nap the last few days, and I wake up headache free without having to take any medication, which I do not like to take any if I can get by without it.

Today I had a private Yoga class for this afternoon, and the mom told me she was exhausted and asked to reschedule, of course I was OK with it, I am exhausted too.  Mommies understand each other, it never ends, things are always changing, and at different stages of kids ages, there are different reasons.  With newborns its nursing and naps, then toddlers never want to stay in one place and we are running them around town participating in fun activities.  I haven't gone beyond toddler yet, but from what I see is you cannot say easier or harder, it just is what it is, one thing passes and the next thing begins.

In mommy world you cut each other some slack, say no problem, do your best to stick to a routine or schedule, if you are running a little late everyone gets it.

It's All Good in Mommy World,
