For some reason, today seemed so very tiring. I went out today with Mommy, Beckie and Angie and we wandered different stores, talking more than shopping. I really enjoyed it. But it is such a chore hauling the babies around out in the world, and they get restless, being confined in their seats for too long. It's 9:00 and I have a friend coming to spend the night here. She should be here soon. I used to be able to go like crazy all day and then stay up half the night, especially when Sam worked nights for the Towing company, but now . . . I was ready to go to bed at 8:00 . . . I hope I'm awake when Nicole gets here!!
Goodnight . . . . .

Having 2 babies and one on the way excuses you. I know that it's a big change, but that's what having a family is all about. It's hard to adjust to the change because you can live the way you have forever, right up until the baby is actually born. Then, zap, presto chango! You'll get your feet under you again,I have no doubt, and if it takes a while, there are a bunch of us here to help out!
I understand completely! I am in bed around 9:00, unless a favorite show is on. Kids change your life. Some people always miss it and long for "school" so they can have their lives back. Others embrace it as a stage of life. I'm usually the first to leave a gathering...the baby is tired, the kids are cranky, we get up early...I miss out on a lot of good socializing, but I have happy kids and that is worth it. And when someone visits, like you and Sam, I stay up WAY past bedtime, because certain things are worth that sacrifice. (Very good books qualify, too!)
So, peace to you Sandie! Take a deep breath, have a cup of tea and a bubble bath (my favorite remedy for most ills!), and do what feels right. Live simply and you will find you live well.
With love, and understanding, and sympathy,
Jennie
