A day in the life of a teenage mum!

7.30 in the morning, I wake from my deep sleep to the sound of 'yes my name is iggle piggle' drifting in from tiny persons bedroom. This is the usual wake up call we get. That or 'happy birthday to you'. Dragging myself out of bed, tripping over the cat and  pile of washing I meant to put away.. 3 months ago, I sheepishly walk to the bathroom. My morning pee is the worst. Not only do I have  baby staring at me over her stairgate as if I shut the bathroom door she'd panic, but I also have a cat meowing st me because every morning she seems to want to sit in the bath and drink from the taps!!

The rest of the morning is more eventful than the wake up routine. I tackle the cereal debate with the tiny person- she asks for cereal EVEERY morning without fail. We like to give her a variety of breakfasts. I drink hot coffee whilst I can, the only time of the day that I won't have a toddler hanging off my legs shouting 'share mummy' because she is too engrossed in the annoying pig that appears on the tele every morning without fail. And of course spilling her cereal everywhere, often sharing with her toys too.

The washing machine will often be washing the load I put in the night before and forgot take out! Most wash loads get washed at least 2 times before I remember to take them out! Breakfast will be a quick bite of toast, of course shared with princess alyssa! Her majesty requires a taste of every meal I have! It's the law.

More household chores often whilst counting to ten repeatedly and singing nursery rhymes to keep tiny ears entertained. A run around the house picking up bits and bobs that the morning has accumulated somehow. Wipe around the bathroom with the cat watching to see if I'll turn the tap on for her. She often gets lucky because the sound of meowing after a morning of toddler versions of row your boat and peppa pig mean any noise I try to eliminate asap!

Lunchtime is often calm- although miss piggy loves fruit so much that she often screams and screams for 2nds.. and 3rd,4th, 5ths!!

Naptime is always well looked forward to! Although before that can happen I have to sit through THE EXCRUTIATING pain that is Alyssas weird humming that self soothes her!

Often I fall asleep and wake up to Triston shouting at the xbox.. or the phone ringing for the billionth time!

Once baby is awake, the evening time is more relaxed. I've often sucked up to the fact that the rest of the housework really needs doing, so get on with it quietly. We play board games and do puzzles, often have to read 10 books at least.. putting on funny voices and giving myself a headache. Dinner time is my retreat. I love the time I get to spend cooking a healthy meal. It's so rewarding seeing it splattered all over the face of little one, whilst she declares mmmmm, nommm. 

Daddy does the bedtime routine- he always has. This is the time I get to spend relaxing... pfft. Or washing up, sorting out bills, making phone calls, and maybe getting 5 minutes to breath!

Night time. Well you can guess. As soon as the mini me is asleep. I hit the sofa and don't move for the whole night! Until of course I get up to go to bed and remember the 1000 chores I forgot that day!
