I had wrangled the boys into their highchairs and had their food in front of them.
And finally all was quiet…. too quiet.
Where the heck is mum I thought.
She must be tidying the boys room…
Then after a few minutes more… she still hadn’t emerged from the bedroom… I decided to see what she was doing.
All I could see was a pair of feet in the doorway.
My heart started beating…
Is she even alive…
This was actually my first thought as my wife usually just doesn’t stop!
Upon closer inspection, I was relieved she was breathing… so I took the two blankets off the boys beds and gave her a pillow.

She emerged 20 odd minutes later after a little nana nap.
She said she’d changed the nappy and just looked down at the carpet like it was a luxurious bed of feathers..
Bless you hun.
You give life 💯 it was nice to see you ‘just stop’.”
So to all the mamas who give it your ALL 100 % of the time, sometimes you just need to slow down, grab that comfy pillow, and toss it on that feather-bed-looking carpet — OR if you’re really feeling fancy, hit that real bed down the hallway and just rest.
You have the right. You deserve it. You’re worth it.
And best of all, you’ll wake up to find the world did not stop just because you did.
. One moment she was changing a nappy... the next... she was nowhere to be seen.){kind=link}
