Teagan recently had a birthday. I kept her home from daycare on her big day. This was the first time I had both kids all day with just me. (My C-Section recovery has not been easy and I'm very grateful Teagan attends daycare while I heal). Wow. I had nothing accomplished. Between the Lacey's frequent feedings and diaper changes and taking Teagan out to celebrate her birthday (slushy store and inflatable indoor park), I wore myself out.
Luckily, both girls napped at the same time and I passed out. I woke up 3 hours later (yes a 3 hour nap!) to my husband coming home. The house was a mess, dishes were not done, and I hadn't started dinner. My husband jokes that if this was an interview to be a stay at home mom, I failed.
How do women with even more kids do it? Stay at home moms/wives have one tough (and exhausting) job!
Love,
The hardest part of it has been learning how to get the two of them together and loaded up to be somewhere. We usually leave about 10 minutes later than I plan for! I've just had to make myself do it.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how it would go with 3 little kids!
