Being a mom is Eternal and Divine.
However, when there is a to-do list to take care of and your kid is home 'cause he is sick; it requires this mom to take a lot of practice and reminders to be good and patient with her kid.
Just as I would sit down to read Julie's Wanted: A Memoir; my son would have a question for me and my answer could not be a simple yes or a no. I had to specify why and how.
Then, I would lose track of what I was doing and start something new.
Distraction was at every step of the way, but to force myself to be patient made me very bitter for everything.
End Result: Everything that I wanted to accomplish; was half way done
However, the sweet ending was that my kid is doing much better and has resumed school today. I look fwd to some productive and creative time.
As the learned say: Patience is a virtue.
But, not all can achieve it.
I still gotta row my boat towards it.
Mantra for today: Wait and Hope

Row that boat, Ruchira! :) I hope your kiddo is feeling better. Take care!
Glad your son is feeling better Ruchira. I hear you on being patient and getting thing half way done. Just as I am writing this comment I am being asked for a snack by Lily (so yes I can totally relate)!!
haha...yes, patience is a virtue and I wish at as soon as a woman becomes a mom, she gets that for free ;)
Alas, we have to strive for it.
Thanks Cyndi and Janine for your wishes!
