I open my eyes partially and take a stealthy look at the timepiece that sits under the TV at one angle of the room. It reads 6-something. I can't believe it is morning again. I only started sleeping! As I turn around hesitatingly, torn between whether I should wake up or 'conclude' my slumber, my baby who lies in an enviable beauty sleep by me starts making moves and opening her mouth, waiting for it to be filled. That is how she lets me know she needs to drink some of the milk Mother Nature provides for her through me.
1. Sleep
P.S: I just had to republish it because the past few days have been something like this. Only difference baby girl no longer nurses so I have to feed her REAL FOOD. Ha.

Haha sometimes I try to fit in the makeup because a girl's got to do what she's got to do. Using the elevator mirror is a smart idea. Lol
Thank you for reading.

I do shift duties, 2 night and one morning duty per week, balancing work with family is not easy and I'm not the maid hiring type, sometimes I'm too tired to lift a finger, but thank God for His grace that has been sufficient,it's getting better now that my girls are a bit grown and independent. Shout out to all mamas out there, we shall live to eat the fruit of our labour in Jesus' name. Bola
Precious Nkeih says
Amen, Bola!
Someone said, "life is a balancing act". So true, especially for mothers. May God continue to give you wisdom on how to handle it all.

There's always time for the "roll in the sack" because it is prioritised.
