AUTHOR: Kat and Kev TITLE: Bad Mother Day DATE: 10/10/2007 07:01:00 AM ----- BODY:

I am having a bad mother day. I woke up this morning without the slightest desire to play, sing, entertain, change nappies, feed, or cuddle. I want to loll around in my PJs, watch bad telly and eat baked goods and dairy products. Then I would walk into town and have a leisurely lunch that didn't involve getting my boobs out. I might try on some clothes and then go to see a movie. Oh and a long nap uninterrupted by, "Geee" or "Waaaah". I read this book called Confessions of a Bad Mother and I went away from it thinking she really wasn't that bad. Her biggest guilt was that she put her child into day care even though she wasn't working. Big deal. I've done worse in the last 24 hours including: - Left him on his changing mat so I could get dressed (I was right there but I now many people frown on this behaviour.) - Left him screaming while I hung out the laundry because I couldn't hear him. - Left him sitting in a LOT of regurgitated milk because he was perfectly happy and I wanted to finish my lunch - Dropped his dummy on the floor and didn't even wash it off when he needed it - Let him watch TV - Read him the instructions for my Mooncup because I was too tired to go and get a baby book from the shelf. - Gave him a bath in the bathtub that I knew needed a good scrub because of the soap scum ring. - Let him chew on paper - Used his sterilizer to cook carrots for his lunch - Woke up his father at 3 am to take him. He screamed for an hour and then we realised he was hungry To top it all off he is really clingy today and I am just not in the mood. To be honest I don't know what to do other than hope all will be better tomorrow. I think we need a nap...
