Last night a kid was up until midnight finishing something he put off. I was soooooo exhausted (being on day 4), and I still had to get up for school and work today. But then I realized, today I am just tired. Not tired and hungover as in the past.

If we're keeping with the metaphor, think about this: as a satellite you are cruising way above the earth and instead of focusing on silly things that don't matter, you can see BIG things- brush fires and global warming and huge storms. The big picture of what's really going on with the kids' lives is what becomes clear when you're observing them instead of regulating them and micro-managing their individual molecules.

I see it all the time. Mommy juice. Sad.<br /><br />Yup. Kids are Sri.ient. And they are also super aware. My kids were really happy when I quit. My daughter hated it when I would "fall asleep". And I am sure I was weepy and erratic.<br /><br />But my kids are happy. Smart. Nice. I don't push too many activities, butter I support what they want. And I make time for my own interests.<br /><br />Parenting is hard. Do what feels right for your family, not what everyone else is doing. It's been working for you!<br />Ainsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-82318536002499981242015-07-09T17:32:04.370-07:002015-07-09T17:32:04.370-07:00Sad the one child knew her mom was drinking.

I want our kids to make their own fun like I used to rather than always looking up me "mummy what shall we do now"... (A question that gets a little on my nerves) . Well done to #1 on such a fantastic achievement you must be very proud. Our summer holiday is 9.5 whole bliking weeks this year! Started last Friday and I'm already repeating "go and play" every two minutes.... Can't moan too much as I love having them at home in the hols.

Even though it's only day 4, I feel so much more in the moment with my twin girls :) <br />Though somewhat unexpectedly, my mind seems to be racing today (not in a bad/anxious way, just turned 'up' a bit more than I would like) - sod off out of my system, wine! :D-Feebz-https://www.blogger.com/profile/06962038625144756343noreply@blogger.com
