I love my kids I really do. But sometimes I just want to get away from them. We only have us. We spend all our time together. So they always want to sit on me, grab me, follow me around. Sometimes its just too much. I want to cry for them and for myself. For them because they should have a better mother. One with infinite patience. One who has friends to take them to see. One who can only bring joy and pleasure to them. I cry and I am so angry at that stupid younger self. So eager for a family with someone to love me. I always felt so unloved and in my stupid mind so like so many stupid hurting young woman I thought if I had a man and a baby I would have love. I do have love now x2. But now my youth and freedom is gone. My life is no longer my own. I do not regret having my children. I will never regret that. They are the best. There really isn't words to describe how much I love them. I only regret so many wasted years. Years that affect me currently. I want to be so much more. Now that they are my world I wish I had made a better world for them. Maybe I still will. I do not have faith that I will. Self doubt eats me all the time. All I tell myself, every night as I am falling asleep. Tomorrow will be better.
Two two year olds. Wow time flies by. They are so big and so destructive. Everyday passes so fast and yet so slow. I'm in limbo now staying with my sister while I try to get my own place. I watch each hour waiting for the next one. Wake up and feed the kids, wait until nap time. 3 hours left, 2 hours left, an hour, 30 minutes, ef it they can go 15 minutes early. Then a bit of freedom as I count again. 2 hours of solitudes left, 1 hour, 30 minutes. Panic sets in knowing its almost over. Then they come lunch time. Then another count down. 4 hours till dinner, 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour got to start preparing. Cook and they eat. Then brush and bath. Night time putting to sleep ritual. Then a couple hours of solitudes where I eat and try to stretch the night out. Then its to bed that I share with two two year olds. Get to do the same exact thing tomorrow.
Some days are different. We go grocery shopping once a week or so. That's nice. There are other high points too. When my kids give me monster hugs, or the do some silly thing that I can't help laughing at.
