Brent continues to travel just about every week and as hard as I try, I can't help but be envious of his evenings away enjoying expensive dinners with clients followed by 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep. Some days I want to strangle him, but then I think 'wait'...I need his help!
MY evenings now consist of - bottles, baths(unfortunately, not my own), too many diaper changes to count, putting Livie's pacifier back in her mouth for the ump-teenth time, wondering who's calls I'm missing as I hear my cell phone ring but can't answer it because I'm holding TWO babies, driving the neighborhood listening to lullabies so the babies will fall asleep...or at least quit crying, reading the same baby book over and over to Luke while still holding Olivia and trying to get them both to fall asleep...yet keep myself awake.
Trying to figure out how to balance work and family has been quite the challenge, so far I'm not doing so well...I'm pretty sure I've been kicked out of the Mom of the Year Club.
I've accepted the fact that I'm going to have to lower my expectations and if my hair or make-up is not done or the house is a wreck, it WILL be OK!
As crazy as life is right now though, I wouldn't change it for the world! I absolutely adore my family and couldn't imagine my life without them!
