Can I just stay in my bubble please?
So there are things you get really good at when you become a Mum. Things like having a 10 second shower, or eating one handed with your non dominant hand (especially interesting at cafes while bub is on your lap getting into everything in sight). You learn the skill of napping whilst sitting & breastfeeding. You learn to open the door with your leg whilst carrying a million bags and a baby (sliding down your body).
Although you are smashing it and developing all these very important skills, you somehow seem to be failing at the whole adult thing. You get tired, you offend people without meaning to, you spill stuff, drop stuff, loose stuff, break stuff, eat stuff you shouldn't, forget to eat, forget your baby needs to eat, and end up sitting on the couch staring at the wall while your baby plays with electrical cords.
Some days, like today, I just want to stay in my baby world, in my Mumma bubble. If there is shopping to do, can it just not be done today? If there are people to talk to, or plans to make, things to fix or meals to prepare, can these things somehow just magically happen on their own?
Do I have to adult today?
The answer is yes. I did drag myself to the shops, walked zombie like down the aisles. I did go to all my appointments & commitments. Some things I didn't get to of course, but mostly I managed to adult. Toby ate and slept and played and laughed. All was well.
Tomorrow though.
