I will still struggle to find time to do the dishes, vacuum or even shower. Nap whilst the baby naps you say? Which one; the toddler who is cutting his molars and throwing tantrums or the newborn who won't sleep without being held. There is no way they will nap in sync surely; even if they did I wouldn't dare nap! I would shower alone and wash my hair; I would vacuum those floors and possibly even mop and if I had time who knows I might even wash the dishes which have sat there since before babe was born. So please don't expect me to have this shit down pat. It may be my second baby, but it's still new in a lot of ways. 

If your planning on popping in, just send a text let me know your coming. I fall to pieces under pressure and stress so if I have ten people turn up at once there is going to be one crazy emotional bitch,  and two children which will be feeling my stress. 

When your visiting please help yourself, make coffee or tea I'll probably need one too! Ask me how I am coping. I know the baby is what you have come to see, but reassurance that people are there for me too will take a weight off my shoulders.

I know some family or friends will snicker and gossip about this post, but it's honest. This blog is a coping mechanism, a place to voice my opinions share experiences and learn. It's not a list of rules and no you don't have to “schedule a visit”. Just show respect and note that we don't just have this in the bag. 

I see those super mums or mothers who only show social media the "perfect side" of their lives. All house work done, before 9am! Lunch and dinner prepped and baking hubby and babe some healthy treat. I just normally giggle to myself because yeah it's great to get things do e and be organised but in my life my child is screaming at my legs after 2 minutes of not paying him attention.

But for some reason after breakfast and coffee this morning I had this burst of energy. I'm seriously blaming pregnancy hormones because it is so unlike me! 

It's now 1pm, I have done my housework, swept, vacuumed and mopped the floors. Actually went I the effort of making sausage tolls and mini quiches for lunch. Fed the child lunch and managed to get him down for a nap?! All by 1pm. Now you perfect mums will be thinking what's so great about that... But whether I'm Lazy or just Honest about my parenting this is a huge achievement! Even though now I'm laying on the floor infront of the fire blogging. Instead of cleaning up after lunch, I wouldn't have it any other way. 

So whether your a super mum or a little lazy and honest like me, just do what makes you happy. Do what ever it takes. 99% of my days are spent following around my toddler picking things up after him and it not even looking like I've gotten up off the couch. But it's okay.
