It has been a tough week. Some days, I feel I have patience for anything, others not so much. As always, my patience are thinner at night. I’m tired, they’re tired. The babies want to be held and nursed. Graham wants to have one more conversation about a monster, or run through the house with our dog. Again, when it is just me for a few days in a row, my patience are extremely thin.
But tonight, the Good Lord knew I was tired. I honestly, didn’t want to sit and rock the babies to sleep, I didn’t want to grumble with Graham. I wanted them all to go to sleep, so I could have some space. Dare I say, it happened!!! I feel like screaming with delight, but I know it will wake them all back up! Everything went so easy. Both babies, fell fast asleep quickly! I went in Graham’s room, and he said something I rarely hear. “Mommy, I tired.” So I kissed him & cuddled with him for a minute, and in that minute he was asleep.
I say all of this, just to testify that it isn’t always easy here at our nest, like at all houses. Whether you have one child, two, four, or five. Some days are so challenging. Others couldn’t be better. But tonight, I am soooo thankful for some space. I know it will make me a better person & a better mommy tomorrow.
THANK YOU!
