The kids have been driving me crazy! Kiera is very clingy, and despite my almost constant use of the sling, I can rarely get anything done. Sydney on the other hand will go right behind me and make everything Jesse or I have spent hours cleaning an absolute disaster area. Or throw a ball and it lands on the baby. Or squeeze out all the juice from her juice box all over the couch.....you get the picture. We used to joke about having a Velcro wall and suits so we could just stick the kids there. Of course that would never happen, tempting though it is. I think Sydney would be less destructive if she could go play outside, but alas we have no fence to keep her in the yard and off the train tracks, and it's too cold for the baby to go out for long periods. I still work nights and don't get off until late. This makes for a tired and grumpy mommy. I need a vacation, or just a couple hours by myself with no kids or husband so I can feel like I'm getting something done. Even if it's just a nap!
Then Syd snuggles up to me and says "I love you Momma!" or
Kiera gives me one of her infectious giggles (complete with toothless grin)
and it makes my life and all the craziness that goes with it all worth it.
