Creativity & Parenting

It's been a day. Let's put it that way. Spent half of it at the doctors trying to get my sick eldest to drink water to avoid hospitalisation. Managed to crack that and she is now running about like her usual crazy & happy self. Sick bug all but forgotten. Now having a snuggle with the youngest.

Sometimes life throws us some massive stop signs. There are jobs that require our attention more than the things we want to devote our attentions too. I am learning to ebb and flow along with those signs and the needs of my brood. But for a creative person it's hard to have a day where I don't create.

Though of course parenting is often a creative endeavour. Trying to get a three year old to drink a tonne of water when she feels sick was definitely a creative endeavour. As much as I want to create, my little loves come first. They are after all my master creations!!! It's a complicated thing being a mama. A lovely, overwhelming, beautiful and complicated thing.
