Something very rare in my home. But I lived it for a few minutes this morning, when I was up before everyone else. For months I woke up before everyone else to go to work, but it was dark, and I was busy getting ready, etc. But since last night I slept downstairs, and hadn't prepared my clothes for this morning, when I came upstairs, there was nothing I could do but relish the silence and quiet.
It didn't last long. That feeling of calm and peace has become unfamiliar, and of course, I couldn't handle it. I busied myself getting breakfast ready.
Why a motherland blog?
Because I have never experienced such intense, all-consuming, eye-opening and humbling emotions as the ones that come with motherhood.
Because I never thought it would be such a crazy, crazy roller-coaster ride.
Because motherhood is one of the most basic and mundane of human experiences.
And I don't really have anyone who will put up with my perpetual epiphanies and complaints.
