hello friday.
Posted on December 5, 2008
Be good to me Friday. I am tired. I worked last night until 2am. Yikes that is late. Even for me. And then Grayson pooped at 4am (is there a way to change a baby's poop schedule???). And then Chris left for work at 6am. If I don't get a nap or an IV of mnt dew this day is going to fall apart quickly!
Figuring out a balance between work and family is not coming easy to me. Working more than I can manage and still want+need more work. Have at least one kid with me at all times and yet want more quality time with them. Working on a way to enjoy each day to it's fullest and not regret what I didn't get done at the end of the day whether it be work or family.
I'm finding it hard to celebrate the season too. Although I'm working constantly on Christmas gifts or card orders it doesn't equal festive to me. I miss the days of cuddling on the couch all day watching movies and drinking hot chocolate. Or listening to Christmas music during a late night car ride to look at lights. Or a weekend spent decorating the house. Christmas just a few years ago was a relaxing time filled with parties and laughter and family. We've still got all of that with just a few added things like teething babies and tantrum throwing toddlers and three year olds desperate for time with Mommy. Of course there are added special times now… like hearing "Moh Ytes!" from the backseat when Parker has spotted more Christmas lights. I guess I'm just still getting used to the chaos of Christmas with three young kids.
Anywho.
The girls were just packed up and shipped off to Grandma's for the morning and Grayson is sleeping so I have at least 30 more minutes to get some things knocked off my list. My list that has 22 items on it currently that are due by the end of next week. Yikes! And double yikes!
To leave you on this sunny+cold Friday here is a shot of my little man in his new Nick and Nora flannel jammies. How can a baby get yummier in flannel? I want to eat him in these jammies!
Have a good one!
