time : there's a word for ya.
where does it go - who has enough - how do you get more
just when i think i've managed to get everything done - something
manages to come up. it's sad really : we get up at 7 pretty much every
morning. one would think this is plenty of time to eat breakfast, get yourself
dressed, get lo dressed, make lunch, get school stuff ready and leave the
house at 8:50. i'm here to say... it's cutting it pretty close!!!
being a sahPm...
for generations there's been a debate on
sahm vs working mom
everyone is a critic : right??!!??
is there really a right or wrong?
my take : it's what works for you and your family.
neither is easy - it's perception that is someones reality - whether wrong or right.
my biggest hang up is this :
i've heard time and time again that being a sahm is so easy - of course, this comment
seems to only come from non-sahm's!
each have their own perks and each, i feel, are commendable.
now... being a sahPm... there's a challenge!
i'm only speaking from my current experience :: being pregnant and
a sahm to an almost 2 1/2 year old is trying!!!
it's one thing to deal with the tantrums, the screaming, the crying, the 'you're not gonna tell me no phase' when you're 'normal'... it's another to deal with it AND deal with hormones, not being able to bend over, not being able to 'run' after lo as fast as you use to... and honestly, what's been the hardest is not being able to pick her up every time she wants... just because.
as you can tell i'm in mental countdown mode...
32 wks 5 days... c'mon november!!
of course, i won't be upset if he comes sooner... as long as he's healthy!!!
what a whirlwind the past few months have been!
i think we have everything we need for his arrival :: at least to get us through for a little while.
it's amazing how easily one forgets what you may/may not need with a newborn :: i really had to sit and think about what i used with brynleigh!
to top off all the excitement of the arrival :: mom and dad are moving here!
yes, they are leaving muskogee!
we finally found/purchased a home and are just waiting for the sale of their home.
they have been working themselves to the bone - poor guys - but they are doing a fabulous job at 'down-sizing'... for those of you who know them knows how much 'stuff' they have... yes, that's been a challenge for mom but she's been a trooper and has really come a long way!!!
we are very excited to have them so close :: closer to mandy :: and here with their grandbabies!!!! gotta love having those 'built in' babysitters!!!
with finalizing their house stuff, bryn starting school for the first time, awaiting the arrival of
our little man, getting the house ready for him, knowing halloween is right around the corner (nope, no costume yet) which means thanksgiving and christmas will follow and preparing and deciding on our pool build (yep, finally getting my pool!!!) :: i'm one tired momma :: but i wouldn't change it for the world!!
what keeps me going??.....
