My life has been crazy this past week. Tony has been having back problems, which has basically meant he can't help me as much as he usually does. And let me just say that putting two kids to bed by yourself is HARD! (Especially when the baby doesn't like to be put down and basically only wants mommy!) At times I really feel like my world is spinning out of control...ok...ok MOST of the time I feel that way. My house is a wreck, my flowerbeds are a wreck, the car needs work, and most importantly my sanity is almost at its breaking point. I know this is just a stage that our family is in. Adding a new baby to the mix makes everything hard simply because they require so much of your time. I just wish I could have some control of my life back. Our pediatrician said something to me yesterday at M's 4 month well visit that was really helpful. When I told her that I feel like I can't get anything accomplished during the day, she said I WAS accomplishing something. I am raising my children, and that is an accomplishment. And I guess she is right. I am just trying REALLY hard to remember that. To remember that household chores and day to day errands are not as important as creating well-adjusted, compassionate, intelligent adults. I mean, that is why I signed up for this job right?
For now I will just try to take it day by day and keep perspective on what is really important about this life I am living at the moment. My kids will only be little for a short time. Hopefully, I can look back on this time, remembering the fun things we did, and not how the clean laundry sat on the living room floor for a week waiting to be folded and put away. :)
