It's finally spring. Thank god. My lingering, post pardum, hormones are getting the best of me. The lack of sunlight and warmth, were getting to me too.
I have been trying to take the girls outside whenever it's warm out, especially Oopie who needs the vitamin D. Apparently it's lacking in breast-milk. I have a headache today, which I know is from lack of fluids.
I ran in the house to get a bottle of water while cautiously watching Fern and Oopie from the window. I went back outside and took one sip and then had to cater to Oopie's breastfeeding need. I turned and looked at my water and saw this dandelion had put in there by Fern. I didn't know whether to be mad because I was so thirsty, or to give her a big hug, because it was spring and that was a nice gesture. I gave her a hug, of course.
Today I didn't mind her constant noises and two year old sounds. I put my head on the ground with my eyes closed (Oopie was in her “Bumbo” seat). I just listened for her sounds. It was so soothing. This is what my, overwhelming, mind of mine needed, two seconds of peace and sunlight.
Sometimes, I read blogs and wonder how the hell do these women have time to do all those things, writing, social media, photography, etc. Do they sleep? Do they ignore their families. I do this when I'm sleeping, or should be sleeping for that matter, or otherwise this would not be possible.
I love my fern, and I love my oopie. I'm having a much better day today, and so are my beautiful girls.
