I think that everyone knows how much I love my babies and my husband - even though I grouse about them. Anyone who actually knows me knows that I would give my right arm and my huge Coach purse collection and all my shoes for my family.
But, today? TODAY they are making me absolutely crazy. I had a court appointment this morning to contest a parking ticket (I won by the way, but that's another story for another day) and I had planned to work from home the second part of the day. But, David wanted to see his parents and I thought what the heck - I'll just take a personal day.
So, we trekked out to the 'burbs and spent the day with David's parents. And, we had a good time. Nicholas played out in the snow and David pulled him along in the sled. Alexander cuddled with his grandparents and we had French Silk pie. It was a lovely afternoon.
The ride home was different. If one baby was crying, the other was sleeping. When the other one stopped crying and sufficiently woke up the other one, he would fall asleep and the other one would start crying. The ride home is when I usually get some sleep and being that neither of the boys took their nap this afternoon, I really REALLY needed that nap in the car.
When we got home, I realized that I had to update my consulting resume. I need to update my personal resume as things don't seem to be going too well at my company. But, what should have taken 20 minutes at the most took 45 minutes with crying interruptions in between. Then, on top of it Nicholas decided that it would be a great idea if he tried to get in the bathtub fully clothed while Alex and David were in the tub.
I really AM grateful that I have my babies and my David but there are days when I miss the martini drinking days. I miss the days when I could sleep past 4:30 am because I could go to the gym at 5:30 am and/or 7:00 pm instead of trying to get some running in before the day even begins. But then again, I've been hitting that snooze button when the alarm goes off. I think what I really miss the most is my body - the one that I hated so much. Funny how things change. I'm sure years from now I will remember these years fondly.
