The past two months have just been utterly crazy for us. Planning for, preparing for, and going on vacation, the holidays and all that go with it, and trying to accomplish some extra tasks around the house has left us feeling completely exhausted. Plus, my daughter hadn't been sleeping well the past couple of weeks. She's been up quite a lot a night lately. We found out at her one year well visit that the likely culprit is the two molars she has coming in unexpectedly. To top it all off, the kids have been sick all week. I AM SO WORN OUT!!!!
Tonight at dinner, both the kids had finished their dinner so we excused them both. This gave Anthony and I some rare quiet time during dinner. I looked at him and asked sarcastically, "So how's life?". He looks up at me with a smile on his face and says, "I'm just trying to stay afloat." And that's when I started laughing uncontrollably. Mostly because I'm completely exhausted (and if you know me, you know that when that happens I get the "giggles") but also because it was funny but SO true. He hit the nail on the head.
I know everyone tells me that someday I am going to miss all of this. I am going to miss exactly how things are right now. I'm going to miss being young and have small children. I'm sure that they are right. But I am convinced that it won't happen until I'm old, and lonely, and my brain is so far gone that I can't possibly remember how exhausting it all was.
Sincerely,
The-M-O-M
