Not enough time

So the hubby made a comment last night that really kind of irked me. I said I needed to take a shower. His response was "you need to take a shower? You had all day to do that." Yeah, I had lots of time to shower while he was at work in between diaper changes, feedings, toddler meltdowns, laundry, dishes, and making 3 meals, one of which he enjoyed.  I really hope for his sake he was joking.  The sad part about this is that I still have 2 more loads of laundry to do today and the dishwasher is full of clean dishes that need to be put away and the counter is littered with more to do. It never ends. I'm currently stuck on the twin bed in the baby's room with a little people house pressed against me while my toddler presses all the buttons and makes it keep playing music.  So, laundry and dishes will have to wait for a little while.  I did get to shower last night, but my toddler ended up in the shower with me because he can't handle giving her a bath while keeping an ear out for the baby, who slept the entire time we were in the shower. I really want to leave one day and see how he handles the two of them. He may surprise me but I would bet I would get a call or a text within an hour, if not sooner asking when I'm coming home.

Welcome to mommyhood

Have children, they said. There is no greater reward, they said...  They never mentioned how much you have to work for that reward.

I sit here on the bed nursing my 2 week old trying to keep my toddler from smacking her sister in the head with a toy she wants her to play with and getting kicked in the lady parts.  Don't get me wrong, I love my girls, but parenting is a lot more work than I ever expected.  My shirt is covered in a mixture of drool, milk, and sweat but every time I get up to go change it I get distracted or stopped.  There are 3 baskets of clean laundry that need to be folded and put away, a load in the washer, a load in the dryer, and 2 more loads that need to be washed but there just isn't the time.  My Christmas tree is still up because 3 days after Christmas I was admitted into the hospital to have my littlest princess.  Maybe I will get things caught up by summer.  For now, I live a sleep deprived life fueled only by the snuggles and smiles of my girls.  Welcome to mommyhood, it's not easy.
