EC finally relieved that brother has left her alone for a few moments.....he is constantly kissing, touching, just on her! Poor thing, I'm sure she is finally relieved when it's naptime and we either go for a run (while Casey is with her, as he is downstairs usually studying/planning; I don't leave her alone :)
or Reed gets room time and I shower or just try to do a few household things
Then there is the late afternoon rush! Trying to get dinner, etc. As you can see I usually have a "friend" with me in the kitchen. At this moment he is happy on his "bycycle" as he calls it since he is eating a tortilla chip! Unless he is occupied he tends to have a hard time waiting for dinner to be ready!
And now there is more quiet/alone time for me here in the evening. Since Casey has gone back to the campus and all are in bed sound asleep by 8:00!
Sounds hectic, but fun! However, I think I'll just stick to the one for now... keepin' it simple... :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are a great mom! I know you work hard at trying to balance it all. Being home fulltime is both joyful and exhausting and this if often overlooked by many. I remember those days well when you and your 3 sisters were all under 5...whew!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was around the corner so I could give you more breaks for time for you. I know it is such a challenge to make time for yourself.
I admire your dedicated heart that tirelessly gives and takes care of your family. I look forward to visiting soon.
Love you,
mom
Erica,

Our lives are a little different now than when we were in Nashville, eh? :)
SO glad that we are in touch again!
Joy
