I am currently in my first 48 hours alone with the girls since Robby has gone back to work. At 6:26 pm tonight I texted him "Is our schedule free tomorrow? Because I was thinking about getting a hysterectomy."
What a mix of emotions you face when one minute your frustration is through the roof over constantly correcting your toddler for valid things like having her listen to you to stop slamming the kitchen drawer so hard she could cut off her finger. The next minute she is quietly in her own world, placing every bracelet she can find of yours on her arm, taking it off, placing it back on, taking it off, and so on. You find yourself so sad that you have to neglect her to nurture this new little fussy baby sister of hers all day long. Then back to frustration over the newborn...why why why do you keep crying honey?
Major props to my friends out there doing this without the help of family and friends nearby giving you breaks.
Oh Chels you make me laugh! It is so so hard! Those first few weeks or months really. Hang in there. This too shall pass. And remember: coffee in the morning, wine at night makes everything right;) ha, that rhymes.
ReplyDeleteAmen to the coffee and wine sister. Thanks Kar. Having a glass right now!
