Which is not good.... I'm jealous that hubby is enjoying himself. I'm jealous that he's surrounded by people. I'm jealous that his nieces and nephew get to play with him while his kids don't. I'm jealous that he's babysitting tonight and I am trying to figure out what to do while trying to keep my eyes open. I'm jealous that he's sleeping and I have had 4 sleepless nights...So...enough of the wallowing....
Today's Joys:
1.Watched Sweets parade through the kitchen on dressup shoes--her own personal stilletos (sp?)
2.Bugs actually ate his breakfast! It was cookie crisp...but he ate it without complaint!
3.BabyGirl and I didn't fight (yet). A friend babysat and when I got home she just wanted to cuddle with me--not be annoying. She's actually been helpful today and I really appreciate it.
4.I had a slight breakdown and Sweets forced me up the stairs...Bugs joined us and in efforts to make me feel better, he brought out his cars and motorcycles and started showing me how cool they were and made me try them out over and over
5. I watched Bugs scale the stairs--he tied a belt and climbed the wall
6.I watched BabyGirl play in the snow and slide down the kid house into a pile
7. The kids and I made monkey bread... we cheated by using crescent rolls, but we made it-yum!
8. Laughed as Sweets practiced the word "no" over and over
9. Enjoyed sweet hugs from my kids
10. Enjoyed my kids.
Oh, so hard! I remember when I was pregnant with Seth (like 8 months) and Katsu was gone off and on (about 6 weeks total in 8 weeks) and I was so jealous. Andrew didn't sleep well at all, I was waking up with him all night, and Katsu was in Europe and Japan and overall just having lots of fun (or so it seemed to me). I can't even imagine it with 3 kids - I only had one! Hang in there.
ReplyDeletethanks Amanda! I know it's not all play for him. He has a lot on his plate (like studying for boards...) but it is so hard to remember that :)
