when you're a mum

When you're a mum its the little subtleties (a word so much nicer to say than write) in the day that make the difference.  You can be doing the same thing one day as you did the day before, yet today it seems harder.  Yesterday, 4 screaming (literally, I threw them out into the back garden tho) children and a baby pulling at my trousers and cried, whilst I peeled potatoes and answered homework questions was a challenge. Today it is an ordeal, thrown into a downward spiral when the husband calls to say he can't pick up the eldest from his club. Really the thought of piling the remaining 3, unfed children into the car to trail them up the road, get them out of the car, sign out the eldest from his club and then do the whole journey again but in reverse, is more than I can actually bear. And I want to cry.  Today, I wonder what is the point of it all. Yesterday it was a challenge to rise to, an endurance test to get to the finishing line.  Oh, hubby is home. I am going to go for a scoot on my new scooter - sans children. There's a LOT to be said for longer evenings and California sunshine. Weeeeeeeeeeee!
