I'm the mom....

When did that happen? Don't get me wrong I love being a mom, but some days I still can't believe I am the mom. I have two great kids and we are "working" on a 3. I spend all day and night with my kidos and they have become very attached. I have only left Adelaide a hand full of times with Kimber (who we miss terrible). Ben wants to be able to spend time with them witch I get but I need a brake now and then. Oh how I want a really date night with out kids. I find myself telling Thomas when trying to get him to do something he doesn't want to do that I am the mom. Just do what I say and stop telling me no! By the end of the night I am just done being the mom.
Ben is gone a lot. Between school, work, and training for his new job he is never home so now I feel like a single mom. I have been dropping Ben off at school and picking him up giving our family about an hour of time to be together (in the van) Our few hours between school and work Ben gets in a nap or homework, and at some time between 2am and 4am he sneaks into bed with me for a few hours of sleep. My poor hubby. How blessed am I to have a husband that is willing to go threw all of that to make our family's life better. On Monday I will get my hubby back for bedtime and I can't wait. But for the rest of the week I will be the mom and snuggle with my hubby when I can.

Oh Meggie. I feel your pain. It's tough, tough, tough! I won't say, "It goes so quick" or "it will all be worth it" because I'm sure that's not what you want to hear. So I'll just say, I know what you are going through! :) Love ya!

Megs, I miss you. Wish I was there to take those kids for a few hours for you. We miss Thomas! The kids love seeing pictures of him up here. Just take a deep breath and smile, then take a nap. My solution for everything! :) Tell Ben congrats on the new job, thats gonna b awesome!
Love you!
