Sleeping in bliss!

I suggested to my husband to seek out SUPPORT GROUPS when he accused me of taking away the whole of the blanket for myself at night. The other day watched the movie 'Look who's talking too'. The husband decides to snip off the blanket into half in the middle of the night when the wife tries to take the whole of the blanket for herself. When I mentioned this to my husband dear he looked anything but amused.

Be positive, mothers!

I was on the computer, when behind me FM 93.5 announced a mother who felt utterly lonely because her children have grown and gone their ways. I think we mothers need to be wiser and more organised for this phase of ours. We are so busy with motherhood and its responsibilities that we stop thinking about ourselves. And if we are not strong enough, depression hits us in a phenomenal way.
We need to understand that this is life and we need to equip ourselves well for this phase of ours. Mothers who have nothing much to do after the kids have left should look around for support groups and friends, should look around for mental survival for this is also the time when menopause hits us. We are a selfless breed, overburdened with responsibilities, and that is why we are so very good in multi-tasking. Most of us don't even look after our health, so busy are we playing 'mother'. Our health deteriorates towards the end and most of us have to take to the bed, depending on others where we used to take care of so many members once upon a time.
