“Have an early night,” they said.
“You’ll feel much better!” I was assured.
Lil Princess told me to make sure the last thing I say to her at night was “Promise to stay in your bed,” as apparently that works….
Yeah right!
So, I managed to drift off around 10 pm, and all was quiet around the house.
I fell into the peaceful sleep of a person who no longer had the pressure of observation on her head.
Oh yeah, thank you all for the good wishes yesterday, things went really well, and the kids shone in the class too. My head teacher was really happy with how the lesson went, and said she really enjoyed time in the nursery. Phew! I was so worried, after an awful observation pre-Christmas (due to terrible timing of a lot of things, resulting in a really bad lesson, where nothing really flowed!) but now I can relax until the next one !
Then at 2.30 am I heard crying…
Lil Princess.
She isn’t a crier.
“Mummy, my tummy really hurts…”
There are bugs going around again at school. The place is rife with snot, coughs and sick buckets – had she caught a bug?
Two hours of encouraging going to the toilet, massaging tummies, even getting fruit down her in case it was more constipation…
And in the back of my mind I am thinking… “Could it be ‘time’ for her?”
As a mother of a girl I have to remember that she is getting older, and soon enough will join the club, so to speak, of females with PMT! In all honesty, she’s perfected the hormonal mood swings already, they were in evidence from around the age of seven!
We’ve talked about the changes that will be occurring obviously. She tells me she knows everything already because they talk on the playground, and well, YouTube teaches everything too, doesn’t it!
Obviously I have corrected certain misconceptions, and we have the joys of that talk happening in her year group this academic year too, but I can’t help but wondering if that may be part of the reason for the tummy ache…
We are all up now. She is teary and tummy still aches a little, but I have made some herbal concoction, recommended by my mum in law, to help tummy aches, in case it is sickness or digestion related (boil cardomom pods, fennel seeds and ajawain (caroway) seeds in water until the liquid colours. drain and sweeten with a little honey for kids, and sip while warm. Should help loosen anything inside, or ease aches).
We will attempt school, and if things don’t look good, I can drop her to her uncle who is working from home today.
She’s also getting a cold – great. Lil Man is blowing his nose (with his unbruised left hand – did I tell you he caught it in the car door the other day?) and my throat is starting to hurt…
I’m praying there is no sickness – hoping we can crawl to the weekend, then all just slob out on the sofa and recharge batteries and get better….
Oh well, off to school for another eventful day ending in a Governors meeting (that finishes at 8 pm, if we’re lucky!).
Catch y’all later Peeps!

I have a 12 year old soon to be 13 in September. I also remember having the talk with her this past summer as she began showing signs of her body changing. She gave me the “eew” look and really didnt want to discuss it. But it’s good we had that talk when we did because a few weeks after her 5th grade graduation she got her first visit from her ” friend” as my mom used to call it. It’s great that our mom intuition kicks in and we know when things are about to occur.

A sleep deprived mother…..yeah it was hard those days when I had to wake up at night two or three times to breastfeed my baby and change her diapers (we use cloths instead of diapers sold on market). And at daytime I had to do all the household works and it’s really hard (since I live in a joint family). And M a student too (a young mother who got married but still continuing on studies). Due to those heavy burden loaded on me I thought weaning would be helpful. So I weaned my baby from breastfeeding and left her with my in-laws and went far away to the city for my studies. All i wanted was a rest. But after a week when my milk stopped producing i started to regret. I went back to get my baby but they won’t let me take her until i complete my studies.
And my baby has forgotten me. The bond between us was lost. I went through a lot of depression after that. So i just have to wait for two years to get her back. I visit her often but she doesn’t know me anymore and they are not supportive about my decision to bond back with her. It’s really hard you know.
So those sleep deprived days are worth it. Those were the days i was happy though it was tiring. Value every moment when you still have that bond

Ahhh… the joys of being a mother. I’ve been up with my daughter almost nightly due to night terrors, or worries about a “shooter being outside the house”. With the last school shooting, my 7-year old has picked up worrying about what “could” happen. Consequently, I have been woken up every 2-3 hours or so during most nights. I know it’s a phase, but it does wear on a person. Hope you’ve had some better sleep. It will get better – right? Great post, Ritu!
