It has been two weeks since I went back to office to work and we brought Izzie back to office nursery. The routine started all over again: wake up at 615am and sleep at 12-1am. Beyond tired is the description for me on Tuesdays to Fridays. Just this Thursday, we had CG meeting. It was the first time Izzie slept through the entire CG meeting. Hallelujah! I was tested to stay awake during the meeting. It was a big struggle, I must confess. I was glad I lasted through and was very blessed by the word.

Going out for dinner with friends on a weeknight is super tiring because it means my night ends even later because chores which need to be done get delayed in the doing and you know the rest of the story. I haven’t really been as “S” as before. Motherhood requires an increase in capacity which in its initial phase is really challenging to include friends in the equation. The photo is so apt to describe how I feel at the moment. 😛

I was just thinking: Why is it I am still struggling even after 1 year??? Izzie is 14 months now. Is there something wrong with me and with us? The hubby brought some perspective back. He said we must recognise that we will still struggling for another 2-3 years but it got easier along the way. It’s true. So, Debbie, hang in there! Don’t give up! We can do this. We’ll get better. I still love my friends and want to keep them for life.

We got a shocking news on Wed and that sent me into some crisis mode. I just gotta remind myself to stay positive. To re-bounce quickly.
