Sidekick powers

If you have ever tried to convince a friend to do a joint grocery shop, chances are you are of the sidekick sort.  I'll explain.

Sometimes your list of things to do will become too long.  And, you won't know where to start.  And, because you don't know where to start, you just won't.  The task at hand seems to be of such epic proportions, that a cup of tea seems like a better idea.  And then another one.

It happens to me all the time.  I become too overwhelmed.  When this happens, I trawl through my phonebook for friends (also housewife types) with the same dilemma.  Because, two or more against the list spells victory.  I can almost smell the coffee at the finish line.

I have no idea

Coming from a bit of a dark blue place, I am trying to figure out why no woman was present when they decided that we should have all the emotions.  And, very often, all of them at the same time.

Now, I know that we were fearfully and wonderfully made.  In Gods image.

But sometimes I am not so sure that all the pieces of my puzzle make sense.  Maybe no yet, anyway.

How is it that having a little baby - a gorgeous, love-filled creature, can make you yearn for a quiet corner?  Somewhere where all noise and thinking is dumbed out.  Sharing my daughter with the world and seeing how much love there is for her blows my mind.  She is amazing and special and beautiful.  She is all of that.  She is a lot.

Sometimes you feel a bit lost.  So you google the feeling.  Because google is the doctor.  You now know even less.  Well done!!

Enter wine.  Wonderful wine.  Why it works so well to help you into the little corner of quiet, I really don't know.  I know I am beginning to sound like a depressed alcoholic.  But, chances are, if you are a mother, it sounds a little bit like the truth.
