They weren’t kidding when they said it takes a village.
Baby is throwing us another curve ball. Two little emerging bottom teeth are threatening their appearance & it has made him a drooly, crazed wee one.
He is darling through this. But he has also developed hobbies such as biting & hair pulling. He certainly does not fight clean.
I am pooling resources, taking helpful family’s assistance when available & cherishing the sisterhood of motherhood. I have mommy friends, mommy groups & excellent girlfriends. Friends that are boys too.
I am still so tired. Perhaps slightly overwhelmed. Handling moderately okay. I do not think stay at home is the easier route to take.
I compare notes with my working mommy friend & see she does not have (an) easy job(s), by far. Perhaps that is the nature of the (baby) beast. Using a lot of ( ) because baby is pulling on my hair & I cannot proofreading correctly. Maybe the parentheses will make things make sense.
Tonight I had a hard time being “away” from baby for a second, to throw his dirty baby wipe in the trash. I took off my makeup with a baby wipe because he would not afford me a moment for me to do this in the bathroom. Le sigh.
Everything is slightly moist & a little bit dirty. I do a lot of laundry. It feels like I wash dishes & take out trash for a living.

“I am so tired. I am SO HAPPY.”
Samsies, Tina. I always knew you & I were soul sisters.
