Life is not always a bed full of roses! Yeah! Not at all. It is a bed full of used bibs, left out pieces of food, toys and toys and toys just to give you that mini fracture when you accidentally land your knee or elbow upon it and a couple of used diapers giving it that "extra sexy" look. Yeah! With a two year old what more can you dream of. I stare at this little human named Aara, at times wondering how topsy turvvy has she turned my life into (for the better ofcourse). Wanna know how much better? Listing a few below...
❤ Gifted with nail marks and bites here.. there.. everywhere. Little does my peeky neighbour knows that this innocent puppy face did that to me, rather she keeps asking me if we had a gala couple time in the bed last night! Hmmmmphhh... Neighbours and their pointy noses - you know.
❤️ Everytime I walk past the beauty salon towards the supermarket to fetch newly launched diapers in the market just to differentiate between dry and extremely dry and pick up the 'extremely dry' one with a hollow hope that it would give me an extra couple of hours of sleep just in case, but end up wrong all the time... Hmmmm.. That was my napping story in vain.. So.. Every time I walk past the beauty salon, I see ladies with great skin and lustrous hair waiting to get inside. My inner self waits to shoot at her.. "Hey woman.. what else on earth do you want?" And here I stand with messy buns, deep dug undereye circles due to the midnight tantrums my toddler is in love with, empty finger and toe nails (feels like I haven't applied nail paints in ages), with unwaxed arms and legs which I bet in a couple of months would make me look like Fiona from "The Shrek" - nah not the princess, the ogre one! Gosh! Wake up ladies wake up! We also do exist!
❤ And.. If you are to talk about the napping story in detail.. It is like as if her seventh or may be eighth sense could immediately sense me falling asleep, lost in the deepest corner, dreaming of a duet with Le Hubby (which happens only here) that she wakes me up either thrusting her legs against me - I guess that's the actual way of KICKSTARTING one's day, or gifting me with endless marks, or crawling over my face with that poop filled diaper which can even wake a corpse up. Now tell me ! The best option is to freaking get up!? Isn't it?
❤ Sometimes being a mommy helps me discover certain talents that I never knew existed within. For instance, the other day Aara came upto me asking for the chocolate that she hid in the last drawer of the kitchen shelf. I was helping her find it, yes.. With utmost dedication .. though I very well was aware that I had gulped the same last night when I felt like binging, in the middle of the night. But still we searched it together. Ain't we superheroes- we moms? 😜
❤ If someone told me years ago that I would be listening to this "daddy finger daddy finger where are you" , "baby shark and family" and "the wheels on the bus go round and round" over and over and over again until my ears were bleeding enough just because it would be a much soothing melody to the ears rather than those high pitch screams of your toddler, I would have literally laughed my ass out. But now?
Face-palm!!
❤ And then when I had to quit my job in Dubai (a well paid one I assure you) when I was preggo, I was head over heels to be imagining this little wonder inside my apparently bloated tummy which otherwise is only filled with food. Little did I know that once I left, my colleagues would have taken a 2 minute silence, pitying on the hell of a dragon's mouth that I had stepped my foot into (No, wait actually dragons are nicer. Don't you remember how it helped the guy in 'How to train your dragon' ?? Well.. Nevermind!)
❤ Parenting is all about sharing. Sharing your money, your belongings, your time, your energy, your every thing (I insist-everything indeed!) what's yours is theirs and what's theirs is... Definitely theirs. Though it is a Rollercoaster ride that I had never ever imagined, I used to wonder when I get compliments from friends and family about how well and defined a mom I am. Well.. That's why we had been blessed incredibly with this task coz THEY were sure none other could make it but WE !!
Yes it is messy, it is challenging, it is sleepless, it is demanding, it is arduous, it is Crazy, but the love and laughter these little ones fill in your lives is....
unparalleled and peerless.
Well.. Happy motherhood to all you crazy mommys out there! 😘

DeleteBeing a mommy is so hard! I feel like there are never enough hours in the day. When you really make time for yourself, even just a few minutes, it can make all the difference. Keep being great mama!

DeleteOh yes, this girl, exploring MOMMYHOOD right now. I love my son, he's just <3 but man oh man, the things they don't tell you about breast feeding.......
ReplyDeleteI remember those days :) They do get better and right when they hit 4, they make leaps and bounds in maturity.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do.. but these times are so special ❤️
DeleteI love your writing style.
ReplyDeleteI also can completely relate to this. I have my 3 year old nephew living with me. And everyday with that little man is on a different craze level from the previous day. But I love him and I can't let myself imagine what it would be like if he weren't here.
Thank you! Oh! How lovely ❤️
DeleteI love reading articles like this! So sweet. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
ReplyDeleteAww.. Thanks love 😍
DeleteThat was so cute. I just love how you describe us motherhood in just a few lines.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, What a fun read. That was so sweet. Your kids are so lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteWhtat a cute mom you are. I can totally relate to that. Being a mom is full of challenges.
ReplyDeleteI just love reading this. How lucky your kids are to have a cute mom like you :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice article. I don't have children so I can't really relate to all your stories but from a mom's point of view I can imagine that you have so many amazing moments with your daughter. There are challenges but the rewards are so worth it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have children (yet) but am a live-in nanny so definitely know how hard it can be!
ReplyDeleteI may or maynot have hidden in the bathroom to eat candy by myself, so don't worry we all do it! Being a parent has changed me in so many ways, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
