Open 24 Hours Everyday #writebravely
There is an endless list of tasks that need my attention and there are tasks that draw attention only when they aren’t done.
Hell, I don’t have a single moment to myself to just exist, alone, in my thoughts.
I want to take a nap but I am not able to unwind and relax. And that is because I am thinking about nothing… everything and all the things in between.
I am tired of looking tired.
I wasn’t prepared for this 24×7 hours job.
They say I should count my blessings.
Yes, I am thankful for my precious, bratty blessings.

Life of a mother where we work 24*7. A very unusual way to end the challenge. Congratulations on completing this challenge successfully.

Thanks a lot, Sonia. Congratulations to you too and thank you for your support. Loved having you here 🙂

Strange but true, that the more tired you get, the harder it is to unwind, relax and sleep.
July 4, 2018 9:43 pm|
Yeah, I cant sleep when I am too tired too!
June 30, 2018 5:12 pm|
I felt as if these are my own words Shilpa. “I am thinking about nothing… everything and all the things in between” says it all.
July 4, 2018 9:44 pm|
Aah! I can empathize with you, Vartika. Pretty challenging time!!
June 30, 2018 7:32 pm|
Ah the life of a mother… it’s never easy and we yearn for some solitude but once we get it we yearn for the kids
July 4, 2018 9:50 pm|
Aah! That’s soooo true!
June 30, 2018 7:40 pm|
With a new born child, comes the new job description for the newbie mother! And needless to say it has its own set of professional hazards…
July 4, 2018 9:51 pm|
I like ‘professional hazards’. Hahaha… so true!

I could relate to this so much, in fact, every lady and every mother would. There are many instances in a day when so much has to be and you have the time also but still……. the task remains undone.
July 4, 2018 9:53 pm|
It’s the story of all mothers! We have so many things to take care of. In fact, even when we are sleepy and are on our way to the bedroom, we will still do a a few more tasks.
June 30, 2018 9:25 pm|
The life of a mother is indeed a 24/7 job. And whatever said and done, it does get overwhelming at times! Good job at describing the feelings of a frustrated mother in so few words!
July 4, 2018 9:54 pm|
You bet! It can truly overwhelming and we do need support and breaks to maintain our sanity!
June 30, 2018 10:38 pm|
Hahaha! Bratty blessings, indeed! Lovely read this was, Shilpa!
July 4, 2018 9:55 pm|
Thank you, Rashmi!
July 1, 2018 12:34 am|
This is me, Shilpa! Bratty blessings, indeed!
July 4, 2018 9:55 pm|
Ah! Glad you can relate to this story!
July 1, 2018 1:26 am|
Ah, how much I wish for the same. A little solitude would do wonders but then the bratty blessings are blessings indeed. 🙂
July 4, 2018 9:57 pm|
I know the feeling so well, Disha!!

Motherhood responsibilities in today’s lifestyle are not only physical and mental challenge, but emotional too. Can well relate to it.
July 4, 2018 9:59 pm|
Oh yes, parenting is pretty challenging these days and needs a lot of involvement from moms on all fronts!
July 1, 2018 9:31 am|
Tell me about it. Precious and bratty seems to sum it up just right!
July 4, 2018 10:00 pm|
Thanks Shailaja. Glad that this resonates with you too!
July 1, 2018 9:58 am|
Motherhood is difficult but we still love it . No matter how hard it is and how tired we are we still love being a mom more than anything else.
July 4, 2018 10:00 pm|
You said it!!
July 1, 2018 10:29 am|
Oh yes, I know the feeling. Very nice take on the prompt Shilpaa.
July 4, 2018 10:00 pm|
Thank you, Kalpanaa!
July 1, 2018 11:16 am|
Thank heavens! That phase is over. At least I am not chasing them all the time.
July 4, 2018 10:01 pm|
I know the feeling and I so glad that this phase is behind me too!
July 1, 2018 12:00 pm|
Another Brilliant take. A simple expression but talks about the whirl of emotions of a woman. Lovely as always Shilpa.
July 4, 2018 10:01 pm|
Thanks Bhavna!

July 4, 2018 10:02 pm|
Same pinch, Genevive. Glad that we have grown up kids 😀
July 1, 2018 3:37 pm|
You’re speaking for all of us, Shilpa. We never tire of getting tired of being tired. (Hope this made sense, I’m also a tired Mom of two bratty blessings.) 😛
July 4, 2018 10:03 pm|
Yes, it makes sense 😀
Enjoy mommyhood with your bratty blessings, Varsh!

24X7 job may be high-paying, but certainly taxing!
July 4, 2018 10:03 pm|
Absolutely!
July 1, 2018 8:18 pm|
