I have officially started counting down the days until Darren finishes his Master’s program. Last night (after an exhausting night with the kiddos- more on that later) I crossed off the number 10 from my ghetto, little post-it note on the fridge. That’s right. 1 class down. 9 to go. That means 5 more weeks of classes!
Ok now for the funny now but not at the time recap of last night. So Kinsey has been sick so I was trying to get her in bed early, which early is kind of a relative term since K is a bit of a night owl these days. So we accomplished bathtime and jammies all by 7:45. Then I put Elijah down and took Kinsey to her room and read her some stories and cuddled until about 8:00, which was just in time to prevent a major hunger meltdown from E. So I’m feeding E and it’s been about 20 minutes and not a peep from her. Victory! I’m already celebrating in my head and making a mental list of what I’m going to do with my evening. 1. I’m going to text Darren and tell him I’m super mom and already have both kids asleep. 2. Tackle the dishes from dinner and do a quick pick of of the house that was hit by hurricane kinsey. 3. Take a shower. 4. Put my feet up with a good book and RELAX…
Then 8:36 happened.
K started crying. Poor thing is all stuffed up, coughing and having trouble breathing. So since E had fallen asleep while I was feeding him I put him in bed and went to calm down K. Some minutes later E starts crying so I go in to find he spit up and rubbed his face all in it. Clean him up and by now K is crying. I continue this back and forth ping-pong drama (although mostly spent with K) until 9:53!
Why is that funny? I know right. I guess I just have to laugh about it to keep my sanity. So I did the dishes and went to bed.
Just a couple hours after we took this picture Kinsey barfed. No wonder she was so cuddly.
I can so relate. Kevin has class on Tuesday nights. We have a ways to go with his master’s, however. By semester’s end he will have 81 units with 13 more to go.
Keep laughing!!! Bedtime can be the longest activity at times. Between the one more story, please, I need a cracker, I’m thirsty and the need to go potty, it can be an hour or more.
Laughter is the KEY to sanity. I hear ya, girl. Two kids is quite a job!
It’s funny to think someday you’ll look back on these memories with fondest.
Well…I think so anyway. ha ha
