To say that life has been hectic is an understatement. I am not sure if it is the return to work that has caused mass craziness or that it is just the holidays. The shopping, cooking, running errands, decorating and so on...... I just feel like I can't catch my breath lately. I leave the house before 7 AM and do not get home until around 6 pm. After I get home there is a list of things that has to be done before the boys baths and bedtime. I am so fortunate to have a husband that helps with the children. I really don't know how I would do it without him. Since I am breastfeeding it adds some much more to my evening to do list. It takes about an hour to freeze milk, wash parts, sterilize everything and get things together for the next day. I have been feeling guilty about not cooking dinner every night. Yes I know as long as my family eats it is not the end of the world. The laundry has doubled for the winter months because my husband dresses in layers for the cold weather. I have been doing about 12 loads a week of laundry now this does include towels, sheets and clothing. My house is ummmmm neglected until the weekend most of the time. If you know me that is so not like me but spending time as a family is more important than mopping.
I have to admit that things are smoother getting the boys ready in the morning now. We have a routine and it works for us. I have only been late to work once in 5 weeks! I never want my boys to feel as though mommy doesn't have time for them. I make it a point to sit down with Logan and read to him at night. If this means that the dishes don't get done until morning I am ok with it. Lucas has been getting up 2-3 times a night. I am exhausted by the end of the week. I never imagined that I could function off of 4 hours of sleep a night. I wouldn't be telling the truth if I told you that I didn't need my sleep.
Today I am cleaning up the mess that was created this week and baking for our office Christmas party. Logan went to work with daddy and Lucas has been napping this afternoon. I probably should be folding laundry but we all deserve a little blog time every now and then.
