‘ Before you say it Mum, I know. I’m a failure as a mother’
‘ Oh don’t be ridiculous Keira, you are not a failure. Trust me, I had my hands full with you two. I can only imagine what it would be like to have twin 2 year olds, but may I ask….when was the last time you washed those pajama’s?
‘See, oh god I’m a freaking mess . I look and probably smell like the wrong end of a yak. I’m a nightmare ’
*chuckles* ‘Baby girl, you don’t look or smell like the wrong end of a yak, you just need a long hot bath and a good rest. I can take care of everything…after all, what are mothers for….
….Is that Rhianon asleep on the floor?’
‘ Shit, see, I told you I was a bad mother! My 2 year old is passed out on the floor and Ryder is probably playing in the toilet water again’
‘ You are not a bad mother. I’ll take her to bed…do they have their naps at the same time?’
‘Mostly, but Ryder always falls asleep first, resulting in waking Rhianon when he wakes which in turn leads to even more crying...
...It’s all your fault you know, giving me that cheesecake’
‘Well I wouldn’t have given it to you if you told me beforehand’
‘I thought you might have guessed. Having news and all’
‘ We just assumed you were going to announce a wedding…oh dear, you sound terrible. Go on, go and lie down, get some rest. I have everything under control’
‘Thanks Mum’
Gee, she wasn’t kidding about the mess. I don’t even know where to start. The highchairs I guess?
Poor love. I don’t think I would have managed with two toddlers. One at a time was enough.
Right. That’s the kitchen.
*Hears Ryder wailing from the nursery*
He didn’t sleep long. I better go and grab him before he wakes his sister….and his mother.
‘ Hello little man, I hear you’ve been giving your mummy some trouble’ *chuckles* ‘ We must be quiet now so as not to wake your sister.’
Phew, someone needs a nappy change I think, or even better, a bath.
Good lord! It seems Ryder isn’t the only one in need of a good wash!
