It's been a rough couple of weeks! This whole post-partum thing is hard some times. I've never really struggled like this after any of my other babies, but this time, with so much on my plate and so many littles needing me I am having a hard time staying on top of things. I can spend a whole afternoon doing dishes, only to have the counter full of them again shortly after dinner. I can wash all of our clothes, only to have the basket fill up again before the day is through....
These last few days I've given up on house work. Instead I spent my days curled up in my favorite chair reading a novel while listening to the children argue and grump while they worked off their Halloween candy. I chose to ignore it, and let them work it out. I needed some Mommy time to recharge my batteries and feel normal again. I read over half of my novel in just one afternoon while the dishes sat on the counter and the toys scattered all over the basement. It was exactly what I needed!
I finished the last little bit this morning, and then took the boys to play at the park for the afternoon. The weather has been amazing for this time of the year and I want to make sure we soak up as much of this sunshine and fresh air as we can before Winter hits.
I am super grateful for Mike's patience and love as I struggle to find myself again and get into routine. Ollies dimpled grins are also a huge help when the days get tough! I am so so blessed.
