Yow! Yikes! Zap!
The corollary to Jay’s rough weekend and now week is that I’ve been home alone full-time with both kids for the first time.
Wow.
All I can say is that parenting two under two is a full-contact sport. I’ve never been so exhausted in my life. I’m managing to get some stuff done around the house, though, in between nursing sessions and rounds of “The Wheels on the Bus,” which pleases me no end. And this may be by far the hardest job I’ve ever had (and I’ve had some doozies, let me tell you), but it’s also the most fun. Which is not to say that I wouldn’t lie, cheat, and steal for a full night’s sleep, but it’s worth it in a way I can’t describe.
Yeah, yeah, I’m a walking cliche. But they get that way because they’re true.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Deb, but it doesn’t get any easier or less exhausting as they get older…
Just wait until the first time you hear “She started it by hitting me back!”...
Posted by Jay G on 03/28 at 01:30 PMYeah, but at that point I shouldn’t be getting up several times a night, so I’ll have a sense of humor. Maybe. LOL!
Right now it would be entirely bearable if I could get a full night’s sleep…
