A lot has been happening since my last post. Not only have I been experiencing writer's block for two weeks, but we have started soccer, we are trying to finish up our school semester, and I am preparing for a three day trip this week! Yes, a trip for me...with other women, no children. And guess who's keeping the kiddos? My amazing husband.
"Write out the baby's schedule and please find someone to relieve me at some point.", he said. I laughed on the inside as I finally felt appreciation and a sense of purpose in the chaos I embrace everyday. My husband is the first person to show his appreciation, but to see him look so desperate for help in the things I have mastered makes me feel like what I do is actually "something".
What we do as moms is not easy. Yes, there are down times, nap times, and a couch to resort to when needed, but the pulls, tugs, questions, needs, and chores are endless. I believe, for the most part, we make it look easy. Despite the challenges, I embrace the beauty of it all, and I know I was definitely created for this purpose.
I have emailed him the baby's schedule and I have lined up a sitter for an overnight stay so that my husband and the older two can go do something fun without the strain a baby can bring. When I called to tell my husband I had made the arrangements for a babysitter, he was relieved and told me how much he appreciated me.
This is going to be an interesting week! I will keep you posted!
