The last few weeks have been a bit hectic and rough at times, but we are managing. Jordan left here on the 3rd, and left port for his underway deployment on the 13th. They are hitting several ports on their way, so hopefully he won't get too stir crazy or depressed along his journey.
As for things around here, it's going OK. I am getting settled in to a routine with two kids instead of one. My house continually stays messy, and I can't go to the grocery store without getting a sitter for at least one of the girls, but I am alright with it. I just miss my husband. And I know that Sadie misses her Daddy.
Regardless, I just want to do my best as a mom to my girls and not let things get to me or become frustrated. These beautiful little creatures are the unexpected blessings of my life, and I know that they are watching my every move and hearing my every word.
For me, I just learned to accept that nap time is my only freetime for the next few years.
ReplyDeleteBabies are so precious and it is not an easy job raising kids. Especially alone. I admire your strength even when you feel weak.
Just make sure to rest, rest, rest when you can. I didn't - and still don't - and I kick myself in the ass for it.
