SKYNI

These days, I keep falling asleep with the kids when I put them to bed. It is a really bad habit because the kids want me to sleep with them all the time now.

Both kids want me to sleep next to them. But I can only go to Jon after Linn falls asleep because she claims that she will cry if I don’t sleep with her first.

I put her claim to a test last night and my goodness, did she cry! She cried so loud for half an hour that the whole neighbourhood must have wondered what we have done to her. Nicke and I pretended to sleep and switched off our lights in our room. She simply switched on our huge bright ceiling light to let us know that she will not give up. I lost the battle and brought her back to her bed. You should see the smile on her face and she kissed me continuously like I am some kind of doll!!!

This morning, when I was taking my time to finish my breakfast, she started the ‘kitchen timer’ just like what I do every morning to get them to finish their breakfast quickly!

What a monster!

It has been a really tough week. I could really need a drink tonight. Linn was sick on Monday and Jon has been sick since yesterday. You can never predict with kids.

I guess that comes with parenthood. It’s like when you choose to have kids, you also signed your life away giving the kids first priority to everything.

Sometimes I think of going back to work. But how is this going to be possible if they keep falling sick every week and there is already so much to do at home.

Being a full time mum is the hardest role I have todate. I am so glad that there is no ‘report card’ at the end of the day!
