Ok so it has been one week since my last post. Labor Day weekend just passed us by (A nice 3 days) It is the 3rd week into school and I am already seeing no point in "counting" the kindergarten days as day..whatever. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who as I type this is screaming her little terrible two self to death right behind me. (Time for some Advil) I have Aidan in Kindergarten with homework (for me apparently not him) every night now. I have mandatory reading him 20 minutes of stories a night as well which I love doing, but let's face it - there are some nights where I'm exhausted and it isn't possible for story time. Which of course I as a mom go to bed feeling every badly that I didn't do it anyways, even with my migraine. Between laundry, cleaning, cooking, working from home & the kids, there is little time left over for me & daddy in the evening, Especially when he gets home from work at 6:30-ish every night, just in time for dinner and some t.v. downtime before he has to shower, bed & do it all over again the next day.
If any of you have any secrets to juggling all of this? Please feel free to leave them here :) Aidan never had the terrible twos or threes so this is all new to me. I will end this here so I can go calm down my poor screaming baby who is thrashing & kicking and screaming at me for what appears to be no apparent reason.
Thank-You for understanding :)

Ask for help anytime, anywhere, and from anybody that it is appropriate and safe (and don't feel bad).Try to savor and treasure every moment that you can together, because, believe it or not, it will go very quickly. You will then think, "What was I doing"? It is hard to do, but VERY worth it!! Hang in there. You need support of some other mama's, too, who are experiencing these things. Reach out. I promise it will help.

ReplyDeleteBy the way I love your title of "There and Back Again". That is so prophetic!
