The roles we play and the next day.
How do you women do it?
When Mr.T is away, my role here is just to be a mother. Occasionally, a daughter. Quite rarely, a wife.
Y’see, I’m not the lovey-dovey kind. If the man goes..he goes. If he doesn’t call, means all is ok. If he calls, something’s really wrong, someone’s dead..or, he wants to buy something and needs my opinion. Serious.
But when Mr.T is here, every fibre, vein, artery and intestine in my body has to turn from mother, to wife, back to mother, then mother and wife again.
Mother, wife, mother, wife, mother, wife.
How the heck does anyone keep up? I tell ya, it’s super tiring! And then, I get guilty for not being a daughter!
And then there’s the sleeping! How the heck does anyone get used to snoring? After weeks of quiet sleep, suddenly there’s this person, snoring in my ear.
Anyway, recently, we went for a really short holiday. An overnight trip. The kids had lots of fun, even the littlest one. Then came the sleeping part. There were 5 beds. FIVE. F-I-V-E.
And yet, the 2 eldest kids kept getting up because they weren’t used to all the snoring. The youngest one, and I slept together. And he occupied 80% of the bed. And that wasn’t enough..he still wanted to sleep on top of me.
I can never fathom how moms can sleep with their bubs. I know I never get a good night’s rest if I did that. They are super-restless sleepers and I know I’ll only end up bein’ Missy Grouchy.
Which pretty much summed up what happened the next day.
With sleep deprivation, I forgot all abt my mobile phone and left it there. And only found out when I reached home.
Need a holiday after holiday after holiday.

I grew up sleeping with siblings on the same bed, and my whole family snores. I am sure I snore too. So hubby’s snoring actually gives me some kind of a “lullaby”.
:)
Hope you managed to get your phone back, or a replacement?
Good time to ask for iPhone!!
