Mothering is hard
Somedays I feel like I have this whole situation of being a parent down pat, others like today I feel like an utter failure. The kids have been fighting horribly for days after being sick with covid for a 3rd time. We have been cooped up at home and things have been chaos between the puking, insomnia, zero energy and fussy kids the house had fallen into a serious mess and that weighs on my mood as well. Last night Alex cried himself to sleep not wanting anything, then the kids were up at 6 ish this morning on top of me not sleeping well either. We can only take so much stress before we just lose ourselves.
Alex refuses to use a plate so we have to put his ketchup straight on the tray otherwise it goes flying, AND he won't eat his tatertots without ketchup. Thank God the highchair is fully washable! I even throw the buckle straps into the wash machine.
Today has been a day attempting to clean up the house, running low on grocery staples, hot weather making the house stuffy and TV time. For lunch has been cereal, tater tots, pudding, applesauce, pizza rolls, popsicles and fruit snacks. Mostly the kids eating whatever they feels looks good.
Bunkbeds got delivered yesterday the kids kids are having a blast sitting on the boxes 🤣 🥴 even though the table is right behind her she wanted to eat on the boxes perched like a bird lol. Tomorrow will be a busy day building beds and rearranging bedrooms!
