Okay, so it is almost 2 months now that I have been parenting solo. I hate it! I have probably already said it a million times, but it is never enough. I am still hanging in there, but I sure have my moments! Between taking care of 2 nearly 4 year old boys with loads of energy, a 21 month old that never stops and thinks he is 4, and let’s not forget the tween going on 30; they can run anyone ragged. I used to love that when Tony would come home in the evenings, he would have energy to spend time with them while I prepared dinner or just work on other duties around the house. He was always great with baths too and night night. Although, I am the story reader. It is nice not having the kids in extra-curriculars right now though. Mallory has girl scouts, but it is all manageable. YEAH, no more ball!!!! So, I know that Tony is missing us and is wishing he could be here, but we gotta do what we gotta do. Right? Soon enough he’ll be home and we will be back to being an everyday family, and it couldn’t come any quicker!
I have been meaning to blog, so much has been going on. But, to be honest, when all are a asleep, that is my only real moments. I find it comforting to loose myself in tv or a book. It is my destresser! Most of the time, though, that is when Tony calls to talk. It is already late for him with the time change, but gotta keep our marriage strong. We talk at least 10 times a day, but it is usually about kid stuff and other business. At night, we talk about us and our lives, plans, etc… so who would want to give it up? Not me! I love him infinite times over!!!!
Anyways, it is 8:20pm and all but one is in bed asleep. Thank goodness for me and my routine! However, Mallory’s got a huge project due tomorrow that she is working on, so that will need my attention and I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Tony will call within the next hour, I am sure. So, that is pretty much the extent of my day. So, no more time to waste. I am going to eat and deal with the rest. Like the title states, Welcome to my crazy life!
