I AM BEGINNING TO HATE THE WORD MUM
MUM, MUMMY, MOTHER! Usually when babies start talking, their first words are dadda, then comes mumma. The word mummy comes next and they never stop saying this throughout the day.
Every 5 minutes today so far has been mum, mummy i'm hungry, (yes they have been recently wormed again)
Mum i'm thirsty (well it is a hot day), mum Nicolas wont let me play the computer game, mum Nicolas isnt sharing, mum Nicolas pushed me, mum can you please wipe my bum i've done a big pooh in the toilet, mum the cat scratched me (stop tormenting it), mum Nicolas wiped finger paint all over my back, mum Jordan is playing with his willy again, mum Nicolas is breaking my pram and killing my dolly! Mum can we have a iceblock.
Mum can we go for a swim, no its too hot outside to be in the sun (for the umpteenth time), mum can we jump on the trampoline, mum Nicolas threw my pram down the stairs. MUMMMMY whens genevieve and the kids coming (their cousins) over today (50th time answered = this afternoon).
Mummy what are you doing? i am cleaning up this mess you all made.
Ahhh peace for the moment, i have given them a iceblock and some crayons to draw with. Too be honest Jordan is easier to deal with at times than the other two put together. Mummy where are we going? (this is because some days i live in my pyjamas) and I am just getting changed.
We so far today have played shops with the cash register and Chloe has made a cake out of playdoh to sell to me, very imaginative indeed, i am so mentally tired that my play imagination with them has somewhat disappeared from my brain. We have made lovely bracelets and necklaces and Jordan is parading around with them on, doing his strike a pose look. He likes to wear them more than Chloe does.
I love the sound of mummy coming from their sweet lips when they all tell me how much they love me. I love the sound of mummy when they offer to help clean up their mess. I love the sound of mummy when Nicolas offers to make me a cup of tea ( with some help of course) I love the sound of mummy when Nicolas tells me he has given Jordan the game to play with because he is a special boy. I love the sound of mummy when Chloe & Nicolas tell me i look beautiful today.
Today is another ordinary day, so in a way i am beginning to hate the word mum when all it is complaining about oneanother. But at the end of the day i am their only mummy and this is what being a mum is all about.
All in all i love being their mum.

Hi Kiralea:
I know exactly how you feel and I only have one. Even with support staff here with him it's Mommie what you doing? Trying to write my blog or talking to my editor on the phone.
All the years when I was having miscarriages I could hardly wait for someone to call me Mommie. In the 20 plus years as Billy Ray's mom I have contemplated changing my name numerous times.
Your blog is a great comic relief for me! Thanks.
LOL! Peggy said it well....your blog is great comic relief. I love how you put such detail in your description of the day and what each child says. It gives us all more insight into each child's personality. You're doing such a great job with your blog, it's always fun to read.
