Grateful..........25.10.2013

Today I am grateful for my children.

No matter how much they may wind me up, misbehave and make a mess of everything they come in contact with I wouldn't do without them.

So what if they make a mess, they're learning as they play and are discovering new things as they go along.

So what if they misbehave, I wouldn't want them to behave like perfect little angels all the time, where's the fun in that.

And so what if they wind me up, their cuddles at the end of the day make everything worth while.

I've been blessed with very healthy twin girls and I'm grateful for every messy minute I have with them.

Let the working mummy guilt begin!

My daughters are sick and I'm not there to look after them.

They cried out for me this morning and all I could do was walk away from them.

Being a mummy with a full-time job blows.

Since our girls arrived anytime they've been sick it's been me who's looked after them, me who's wiped their noses, given cuddles, me who's taken them to see the Doctor or Health Visitor, I've done everything cause their Daddy has been at work and now I've had to leave them and I'm feeling dreadful about it.

I know their Daddy is looking after them and then when he goes to work this afternoon they'll be looked after by my own Daddy so they're in good hands but that doesn't ease the guilt - they need me and I'm not there.
