I have a minute to blog! Ah!!
life here is pretty great. I am in love with all of my boys, and each day I am amazed at how much my love for them grows. I think I have the hang of this mom of two thing but there are some things about it I have realized.
my main concern is the boys and their happiness. That means that MY happiness is on the back burner, and by that I mean the house. lol. I adore a clean house that smells like fresh linens. I miss the days where I only had to sweep once a week. The TV room carpet, I am positive is lined with goldfish. But for my sanity sake, Henry gets his snacks and treats down there because its too much to get them both upstairs and do it properly in the kitchen. Today I learned to be ok with it. This is my life right now. This is the chapter I am in. In a few years when they are older it will be a different story, and 10 years from now hopefully my house can stay cleaner longer, but ya gotta live in the present.
I didnt think I had patience. With Henry I feel constantly impatient, cause he and I are learning these new stages together so it feels like that. But now that I am repeating stages with Charlie, I realize I am SO much more patient than I used to be. My blood pressure doesnt sky rocket when he starts crying in the car, and I dont worry constantly that I am doing something wrong.
I am so excited for them to grow up. I know I keep saying that, and its not that I dont love them now and their sweet spirits, but I know it just gets more fun from here. Especially this week since everyone was sending their kids off to school. I am so excited to pick Henry up everyday from school and hear what he has to say. I am also excited and nervous about teaching him to be a good person. I am firmly against corporal punishment, BUT, there is one instance where I will not hesitate to bend them over my knee, and thats if I find out they are being some sort of a bully.
ugh. Charlie is up.
gotta go.
