Currently, A Ramble
I think sometimes when I am out and about that I should jot down this idea or that...Sadly I never do and then when I get ready to sit down and write a blog....I have complete block. Not that I am a writer or anything special but I feel like our life is pretty interesting.
So today I am just going to ramble.
Life has been chugging along for a bit now. We had G's 2nd birthday and we had a really fun day! Lots of love was felt for our tiny little family. In addition to that April was just a weird month. The weather was up and down and so was just about everything else.
I worked a TON at the hospital in April and it took a toll on me that I forgot about. Seriously, this may sound nuts but....I haven't worked full time since before G was born. So working a full time schedule, taking care of G, a house and getting ready for his birthday made me think about how hard being a mom is for EVERY single kind of person. I am lucky enough to be able to home with G for the most part and YES it is hard! Some days I think it would be easier to just go back to work. I am thankful for months like April because I get to see the "greener grass" so-to-speak. It is hard. I missed a lot of daily little things and I had to deal with the huge mom guilt that came with it. Then all of a sudden the month is over. Goodness....Life then returned back to our "normal" and we were off on a jet plane.
I was sick earlier this week and now of course the illness has trickled down to the rest of the family. bummer to say to the least. Sick and pregnant stinks. I remember thinking when we first found out about baby number 2 that this trip would be so hard because I would be 6 months pregnant....to be honest, I don't feel much different. Sure, I am short of breath, have less energy and I am carrier an extra 10 lbs but other than that life is normal. I even wore G on my back for awhile yesterday. I know, crazy! :)
We are headed to Albi this weekend and I am looking forward to some quality family time with Andy, G and the pups. It seems odd that we "spend" all this time together but it isn't like what you would think. Andy works, I work, we work as a family. So at the end of the day it is time to un-wind and chill. Hopefully this weekend will bring some serious down time and family time. We shall see!
