on having 2 (revisited)

"So, how is it having 2?" A question I get all the time. We're 3 months in now, and I still will say that adjusting to having 2 kids has been easy. However, having 2 kids and working is a whole different story- it's hard, really hard. I am constantly going. If it's not work, its taking care of the kids. If its not the kids, its housework or dinner. Oh and I have a husband don't I? And what about exercise? I have to squeeze that in too for my sanity. I never feel like I'm on top of anything and down time of surfing the internet (blogs, pinterest, facebook, etc) is only reserved for when I'm nursing (not such a bad thing). I am completely exhausted by the end of the day; most nights I could easily pass out on my bed after I put the kids to bed (mind you its only 8 o'clock). Being a mom is a full-time job in and of itself, but then I have my other full-time job and sometimes I seriously wonder how it all fits in.

I've complained enough. You get it, my life is crazily busy right now. But its my life and I need to focus on the positive things.

Like those 2 darling littles above. They are my joy and can make everything better with their smiles.

Like my wonderful husband. He truly is my equal partner and helps with the laundry, cleaning, cooking, and the kiddies. I couldn't do it without that- at least not without having a nervous breakdown :)

Like the fact that I am able to work part-time from home. I enjoy my job, and I think I'm good at it, but I wouldn't do it if I had to leave my kids everyday. So thank you bosses.

Wish me luck in the balancing act that is life.
