these days when anyone asks how i am feeling… the answer is always… tired. i also feel happy, busy, content, and full, but for some reason, tired always comes to mind. days start and end one after another and i don’t feel like i refill my energy tank. i anticipate naptimes and bedtimes…. for the kids and for me, too. i think back to the days when it was just ian and me…. when we both had jobs outside of our home… when we would come home at the end of the day… and we had so much time. i still don’t know what we did with our time. 😉 i think its funny to hear someone without kids talk about how tired they are. about how they have to be up early and how they stay at work so late, etc, etc… ENJOY IT! i say. SOAK IT UP! things will change when you have children. they are wonderful, but they sure are time suckers!!!
God helps me get through my very busy days with two children. i wouldn’t change it for anything in the world, but sometimes i dream of the day when i will have more time… time to write, time to read, time to organize my closet and jewelry armoire, finish the kids’ baby books, finish my wedding scrapbook, sew clothes for the kids and myself, work in the garden, paint the last piece of antique furniture that ian’s parents gave us when we got married, bake some yummy desserts, update my blog, organize all of our digital photos and video, take more photos and video………………..the list can go on and on.
if i could make a wish, it would be to add another 2 or 3 (or 10 hours) to each day (after my children are asleep or before they wake up preferably) 😉 for now, i think my plan is to try to get to bed earlier each night. staying up past midnight every night sure isn’t helping!!!
