Missing my kids

Tonight is the start of my night shift schedule. It’ll be a long two months for me and my family. The sacrifice of not having “night sleep” is bearable but spending the night without the kids is something I do not know until when I can manage.

I won’t be able to lull them to sleep. My Claire will surely look for me during the wee hours of the morning when she needs to nurse. My Joshua will have no choice but his father to wake him up in the morning and give him a bath before he goes to school.

And when they are all active and hyper during the morning, I am locked in the room and sleeping. Oh, the pains of being a working mother.
