I spent the night in the hospital with my youngest while my eldest stayed home with grandma. We spent almost 10 hours at the hospital. I was awake for 26 hours by the time we got home. I had a couple of hours to sleep until my mum had to leave for work.
A few hours later, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open, so I asked my child to quietly watch some TV and eat some snacks. I need an hour’s nap. I woke up to a spotless house. Every single book and toy had been put away. He was so proud of his efforts. As a 5-year-old, I was so proud I cried. I’m a single mom, so putting the toys away doesn’t happen often, as other chores take priority.
