Throwing in the Towel
Can one resign from motherhood? This is what I feel like doing today. Too bad it doesn't exist. Which is probably a good thing because when a new day rises tomorrow, I probably can't wait to get the little one from his crib in the morning. But today, I wish I could just turn back the clock to when I was still single, without a care in the world except catering to my selfish self. I can relax when I want to. Go out when I want to (as opposed to catering to Cael's schedule). Having my world revolve around ME instead of someone else. To become a mother is to die to yourself a thousand million times.
Cael did not do anything particularly unusual that made me feel this way. Well he did throw a fit this morning. I couldn't take him out for his usual walk/park since it was cold and gloomy with a slight sprinkle, and I guess he was quite quite bored at home amongst his million toys that he doesn't touch. Many times my husband and I have looked at each other and wonder if this is our child because we are such homebodies and this boy live to go out on the streets. Anyway, I guess I just felt like a lazy day and was not up to entertaining the child. He would have been quite happy if I had turned on Baby Einstein and let him watch all day long, but I limit his watching to 1/2 - 1 hour a day (broken up). Hence, he was grouchy which made me wish I could have a break from my life. Any trades?
