So here I am writing my first post in here, not entirely sure where this journey will lead but hey, I will just go with it.
I am the slightly nutty mother of two infuriatingly amazing & sometimes overwhelming little men. Mr McBoof who is 6.5yrs & Master G who is now 4yrs ( *sniff* how'd that happen ?!?!?!? ). Things are often a mad house around here to say the least but we get there in the end.
So where does it all start ? I'm not even sure where to start it to be honest but I am sure my ramblings along the way will paint a bit of a picture of what was & what now is our life. It's been a bit of an adventure, a bit of a rollercoaster with it's up & downs. Lots of tears shed but lots of laughter too & with a lot of good company along the way.
Becoming a mother has been one of the most amazing things I have done, yeah cliche I know but it is true & nothing can explain it. Don't get me wrong there are days where I would sell them for a loaf of bread ;) .... Jokes jokes ... Well maybe :P
I am far from being the perfect mother, I struggled for such a long time with this & still do from time to time. The pressure society puts upon us & we especially put on ourselves is quite overwhelming.
We should just be allowed to be.
Be with our babies & be in the moment ... Just be. I have come to realise I am not a perfect mother & never will be but I love my boys more than I can even put into words & I know I am the best mother for them, so really I am the perfect mother .... For them.
It's often a hard road to travel because there seems to be an idea that we must keep up a standard, we must be like X, Y or Z when all we really need to be is ourselves. As I said it's something I am still working on because there are times when I question what the hell I am doing & whether I am doing any of it right.
I am a work in progress as a woman & a work in progress as a mother ... But then aren't we all ...
