These past weeks I am always exhausted. I am not sure if it was because taking care of my toddler is simply getting old. In my mind, I always plan to write a blog at least every other day but then I haven't. At day time when my son naps, I was busy with the household chores. Yet still interrupted as he won't sleep thoroughly. Blaming the teething stage. As I am writing today, laundry needs to be folded and piled up. Others are in the basket, while some are still in the hanger rack. The living room was a mess. Caleb's toys are everywhere and just one wrong move? I might step on it and don't know what will happen.
However, I wanted to be lazy, maybe just today? Can I?
Sometimes, I can't help but to wonder how other moms managed to have several kids, go to work and take care of their family. While here I am, having one kid and SAHM yet feels so drained. My back hurts and muscles are screaming badly wanting to rest. At night several times I dozed off to sleep while holding my son in my arms, soothing him. Then I woke up hours later realizing I haven't cleaned up yet the mess outside. Still dishes to be washed etc.
Previously, I wouldn't hesitate to get up but lately as much as I wanted, my flesh is weak 🤣. So, if there is anyone here reading this blog and still childless, what are you waiting for? Don't wait until you're at my age. I'm telling you, having a toddler at mid-thirties is ain't for the weak.
Aside from feeling tired how's life lately?
I already kept my son's crib and planned to sell it. He no longer wanted to place there and it only consumed space.

Still editing details and information and will be posting it on the Facebook marketplace. Once sold, I am planning to use the cash in buying rubber mats to be put in the living room. Caleb now is in the stage of mastering the art of climbing 🤣.
One time I was washing his feeding bottles and when I looked to check him he was already sitting on the couch. Almost fell down on the floor if I wasn't fast enough to catch him.
That is also one of the reasons why I folded his crib. He kept on climbing up and down and not all the time he could keep the balance.
This was taken weeks ago and now he could do that faster. What I did was put a thin foam on the living roam. With pillows and everything looks like someone will be sleeping here.
Our home might be messy now, I am always tired but I know this is TEMPORARY. Babis grew up fast and days and nights passed by so quickly. One of these days I will be waking up; he is already a preschooler.
I drafted this last Thursday but only managed to finish now 🤣.
