One thing I realized since becoming a mom is that there is no rest, especially when you do not have the luxury of a nanny. This three week break gave me a chance to bond with my boys - and bond so much we did! My boys have been tugging my pants since Day 1. All day I play with them, clean the mess, take care of the boys. The husband is helping (bless him!) so that has been keeping me sane throughout. In the afternoon, we head to the park. Kail plays in the playground, or rides the bike with his dad, while Calix and I would walk around the park several times. This serves as our family's exercise (as if we needed one after running after the kids all day!).
I can only do the things I want to do (like scrapbook) when the kids are asleep - either taking a nap or sleeping through the night. This leaves me feeling so tired the next day because I get to bed around 12mn or 1am!
Am I complaining? Nope - not at all! It's tough sometimes, yes, but I won't have it any other way. Our kids bring us tremendous joy - one that's beyond imagining. They also give us gray hair and wrinkles, but we've long since accepted that it's part of the package. I'm thankful for this chance to spend three whole weeks as a dotting mom.
