A life forgotten

As a mom you are on auto pilot. You get up make lunches take the kids to school. Today was just one of those days. Got up tried to get ready for work nothing seemed to go right.You know when hair wont go right or makeup don't look right and you feel defeated so you do just the basic ponytail. Yeah was having one of those morning. So after everything is said and done. I go to the kitchen to make coffee the drink of the gods with out it can't function. This is my time the me time I cherish. What people don't understand is kids are hard work being a single mother makes it harder. So anytime I get me time I take it. You see commercials on TV where the mom is on the closet or pantry eating and the kids are mom where are you. I use to laugh at those now not so much. As I drink my coffee I can hear the bathroom door close. Its time here they come. So I put on my brave face to face the day. Even though they are not babies anymore they are still my babies. I have learned to do with out for so long to give to my kids it makes me feel bad to do anything for myself. See when you have kids its not about you anymore its about them. Even when they are teens. I try my best and I am for from perfect. My kids know this and they dont ask for much and what they do ask for it try to get it for them. Back to reality the boys come down and ask me if breakfast is done. I give them their plates and they go to town on the food man can they eat ugh. Next you hear their sister coming down she don't eat to much which i wish she would eat more but i will talk what i can get. " Hey" I said to the kids "you guys get all you work done for school". I got "yes mom" I got some great kids. The oldest Kris asked me "Mom while your at work anything you need us to do." I tell them no My middle child Anthony Asked " Mom what did you want for dinner tonight?" "I don't know surprise me" I said. I work the night shift so my boys handle dinner and making sure their sister is fed and school work is done. Like I said being a single mom is hard. You do twice the work and only half the recognition. I look at the time oh god going to be late. So now we are in a rush aleast they all go to the same school. I pull up to the school and done by one they get out I give them hugs and kisses. I dont care if I embarrassed them I love them.They are my world. Now after all of that work time to deal with people.
