A little insight on my daily life

I’m just living a basic life, being a mother of two kids. One is a toddler, and the other is not even one year old.

Every day, when I wake up, I plan on achieving so many things, such as finishing the book that has been lying on my nightstand for a couple of months now, getting myself registered for a new course, or simply writing something. But the days pass by, and by the time I put the kids to sleep to do something for myself, it’s time for bed. When I look back at the day, I realize that all I was able to do was feed, bathe, and put my kids to bed.

Now, please don’t tell me to stay awake for another hour and do something I wish because my little one is not a good sleeper. She keeps turning and twisting in bed if I’m not close. And the toddler goes to school, so it’s really hard to stay awake late at night and then be able to get up in the morning for school.

I’m not complaining. I’m not being ungrateful. I know this, too, shall pass. No matter how advanced our lives and thoughts become, I am still old school at heart. For me, the greatest joy is having my kids close to me and being able to do all their things. I know this time will pass in the blink of an eye, and there will come a day when my house will be clean, my kids will be busy with their own stuff, and I will have ample time to do what I like. Until then, I’m hanging on happily. I guess I joined Substack mainly because I miss putting my thoughts in black and white. I’m going to be plain here. No fancy write ups in the beginning but those many thoughts and ideas that come into my mind during the day and then slip away into an abyss of nothingness. So before they fly away, I will try to put them up here. Hope you enjoy this with me as we go along.

Here is a picture of one of the moments from the day when my elder one was having a meltdown and the younger one just wanted to be on me.
