Motherhood can be paralyzing. All of the to-do lists, all of the cleaning, all of the work, all of the chasing after twins, all of the playing, and yet when the girls go down for their now one nap of the day, I am paralyzed by too much to do. Shower? No...it will wake them up. Clean up the toys? No....it will expend too much energy to pick up their toys only to see them get scattered back out in 2 hours. Make business phone calls? No....it will surely jinx the girls nap time while I scramble to hide somewhere in the house where they won't be able to hear the screaming. Take a nap too? No....it will certainly jinx the girls nap time the minute my head hits the pillow.
Paralyzing. So, instead, I turn to the computer. My faithful companion during those paralyzing moments...only to find that as sure as I started this post, I've jinxed nap time and now must go answer the "Mommy!!!!!" call....left unshowered, with an unclean house, and a business to-do list that got nowhere. These are the paralyzing moments of motherhood.
Thank goodness for two sweet girls that make these paralyzing moments totally worth it.
