My Life as of Lately
I have a whole new
appreciation for working moms, seriously. I have been driving from Dorchester
to Johns Island for my externship. So my day would start at 6 am, get ready,
wake the boys up by 6:30 am, take them to my mother in laws house, then drive
to Johns Island, leave there at about 4:30 sometimes a little earlier, pick the
boys up around 5:30pm ish give or take, then get home at 6 pm, sometimes
earlier, and immediately start cooking dinner and cleaning. Obviously after that, we eat dinner, the boys
go straight to the bath afterwards, and I usually tidy up while they are in the
bath. I then take them out, get them
ready for bed, put them to bed and either clean more, collapse, or take a
shower and either do homework afterwards or go to bed.
Just, AHHHH. I really
hope it isn’t so hectic when I get a job. I am really hoping to get something
that isn’t 1.5 hours away, maybe 30 minutes tops. I know when I do start
working the boys will need to be in daycare and I will need to feed and dress
them in the mornings. Before I just threw them in the car with their Pjs on and
my mother in law took care of all that whenever I dropped them off with her.
Bless her heart. That woman does so much for us; words cannot explain how
thankful and grateful I am for her.
Now that yesterday was my
last day, it is time to start applying places. I officially graduate in about 2
weeks! I will hopefully have more time for hobbies and well, LIFE without school.
I plan to catch up around my blog and share some family fun times during these
holidays.
Guess who turned 2 on Sunday?
My sweet little Liam, that’s
who. I just cannot explain how much I love that little guy. Or even better, how
much he drives me crazy. He is absolutely a mix of his father and I, sometimes
I feel like he got everything we did NOT want to give him; stubbornness, hard
headed, strong willed, picky, and attitude! Now, do not get me wrong, I love my
little guy and his brother Blake received these traits as well but they seem to
be 100% Liam. However, he can also be super duper goofy, sweet, loving, and
cuddly! Blake just now started cuddling with me again after not wanting to
since he was a baby and even so, it is always on his terms. Liam will hug me,
kiss, and cuddle ALL DAY LONG if I let him. I love it! As long as his basic
needs are met and we are chilling at home he is amazing. But if he is over
stimulated or frightened, all hell breaks loose.
I just really cannot
imagine life without him. I would for sure feel a void where a second child,
sibling to Blake should’ve been if we never had Liam. He just completes our family;
he completes me, one side of my heart. Two children are very hard to deal with
compared to one. However, it makes me work that much harder for them.
I’ve come such a long way for someone of my
age and background who has two children and a husband.
