A New Understanding

I have a new understanding for why Moms say the things they do.
I have spent my first four days at home with two kids.
I now understand that it is hard to get a shower everyday.
If I do get a shower, I will probably only get make-up on or get my hair dry, but not both.
I now have a deeper understanding of exactly what it means to get two kids out of the door to go somewhere.
For four days, I have experienced both kids NOT napping at the same time. Oh wait, I lied, they napped at the same time yesterday...but, Stephen didn't actually fall asleep, so it made it hard for me to sleep. So, I didn't.

Two kids is a juggling act for sure, for sure. When I wake up in the morning, I hit the ground running and I don't stop. Since Joshua is a newborn, I can't really say it stops...ever. I don't get a lot of me time. I am not getting anything really useless done.

And-now-I must stop updating this blog. Stephen's reward snack of ice cream (he got 4 stickers on his reward chart) is done & now I must move him to the next activity...water play in the backyard while Joshua is asleep. BECAUSE-when Joshua wakes up, I will need to hold and nurse him & will need Stephen to self entertain at that time...not now. Juggling, non-stop action. Non-stop. NO time.
