I have no excuse for not blogging, other than that I often times feel like my life is slipping away from me. I feel like if I stop for 10 minutes and try to focus on just me, someone hits the fast forward buttona nd speeds life up around me. The dishes pile up, the laundry grows by about 3 times in diameter, the fish goes without food (whom by the way I flushed this weekend and Ashton hasn't even noticed because I've kept the tank running in his room... bad mommy), kids don't get showers, my car becomes a garbage can.... shall I go on? I think you get the point. So in a nut shell, taking those 10 minutes to myself actually only adds days worth of work for me. So instead I just collapse in my bed at night, absolutley exhausted, mentally trying to prepare myself for the next day.
Otherwise not much new on this homefront. Ashton and Cooper are starting to fight over toys, especially now that Cooper can get to Ashton in about 1/2 a second. All day I hear "Mom, can you get Cooper away?"..... oh how I love the sounds of sibling rivalry.
Jamie - what a small world! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment on my blog! it's always fun to see who's reading your blog...
You are right, I have been following the Taylor family and Ani's posts have helped me put into perspective motherhood of two small children. A post I made a couple of weeks ago about how grateful I am for my kids came after reading her blog all the way back to when Ruby was born. We just can't take these babies for granted!
Anyway, thank you again for your comment. If you don't mind, I'll add you to my google reader so I can follow you as well! :)
