Where does time go????

It seems you blink and a year passes once you become a mother…….  I cannot believe that,  BooBoo my second is one year old now!  Well actually thirteen months, as a month has passed already since her Birthday.  Where has that gone????

What I also cannot believe is I have been back at work for two whole months….. I must admit, the last two months do seem to have passed in a huge blur of emotion, stress and utter exhaustion, a fate I believe I am destined to as a working mother of two.  Time will tell……. Read on…

I can remember vividly a year ago, the sleepless nights and a gorgeous floppy little bundle of smiles.  Back then, the biggest challenge was trying to settle BooBoo in to our family and not allowing her brother to feel the slightest bit neglected.  I can happily say both were a success and I now have two very happy (although very willful) children who absolutely adore each other.  Now the biggest challenge is trying to juggle all that life with two children and working full time throws at me, or us……. 

The last week has seen some sense of order and normality approach our house, although Mr C and I have had to burst out laughing and fall into a huge cuddle when we have stopped for one second and recognised the utter chaos around us.   We work well together I have to say, and he is even on auto pilot when it comes to the nappy wash routine, which is a god send as team work seems to be the only way to survive the challenge.

BooBoo has settled fantastically into nursery and she absolutely loves her time there, happily going in and waving “TaTa” when I leave.  Her brother on the other hand is a different story…… After having Mammy at home for a year, he does not want me working at all, and informs us daily he does not want to go to club after school (although we have to battle to get him out when we pick him up he is having so much fun!).  I think he is starting to accept this, and again time will tell.

What will the next blink of an eye hold for us???  Who can tell…………
