Term 1 And A Crazy Mum

can i just start off by saying this mother gig is tough.

i'm exhausted.

it was the first day back at school today,

i thought i would have this found new energy 

with only one boy at home.

but no.

i feel like i used every last ounce of energy to get those suckers to bed.

i'm currently vegging on the couch watching netflix,

and this is where i will probably fall asleep until jevan gets home 

and moves me to bed.

then comes the mother guilt.

i should be doing more with zayden?

am i playing with them enough?

do i give them enough time individual?

i should feed them more fruit and vegetables!

am i helping them enough with their homework?

do they know that i love them?

am i being too hard on them?

am i teaching them to be responsible?

the list goes on and on.

there is some days i feel like i've got this all down.

i feel like i've spent real quality time with them

and foods on the table and i'm just super patient and happy.

these days at the moment happen on the rarity at the moment.

i just feel like right now where i'm at,

if i meet all their basic needs then i'm happy.

i just hope they know that even when i'm cranky, yelling, screaming

 (yes i admit that goes on alot in our house)  

and going a tad (ALOT) crazy that i love them more than anything else in this world.

my hands go up to all you mothers out there struggling,

we can get through this !

we have braxton starting year 1 and makai starting year 3.

Pool/Beach/Chips

we are now winding down from our trip.

we had felt pretty hammered after doing so much,

so we ditched our plans this day.

we changed it for a day by the pool and fish and chips for dinner on the beach.

it was just what we needed.

we now have our fish and chip shop at burleigh beach we will head to 

each visit now.

there's a couple of things we always have to do when we visit queensland.

and now thinking about it they all revolve around food.

the sunset was perfect 

and the boys had fun playing on the beach until it was too dark to see.

of course they got wet as well

and of course i wasn't prepared and had no towels.

this day was probably one of my favourites of the trip.
