Y'all, it's killing me.
Killing. Me.
I have so much to post about. Well, nothing that's particularly interesting to anyone but me and my childrens' grandparents, but it's killing me that so many memories are slipping by without being documented somewhere. At this point, I just can't fit it all into a day.
And you know I can't stand that because that's admitting defeat!!
I only have a few minutes before I have to feed Little Man, so I have to be brief. How about I make a post about a couple of motherhood things that are bothering me lately? That's really the quickest material I have for the moment.
1.) My heart breaks every single time one of my children suggests we do something and I have to put them off for something else. Even when I'm able to go back and do whatever it was they wanted to do later, which I always make a point to do, it still hurts me when I can't do what they want to do in the moment they want to do it. (i.e. putting off reading a book because it's time to feed the baby, etc.)
2.) I'm a "darter". When I run into a room of the house, I don't linger. I get what I need or do what I need to do, and then I get out. My girls have this tendency to follow me into each and every room I go into, but the problem is they are not "darters" too! So by the time they get into the room, I'm already turning out the light and leaving it. Then they get mad. I don't know what I can do to stop it, or if it's really anything that needs to be addressed, but it's off my chest now.
Whew! I feel better. If anyone can relate or has any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you!

I, too, am a darter...except my problem is that I always whip around to leave the room and trip over my little people. It's frustrating for me and them. I think I just gotta s.l.o.w. down! Your doing a great job, here's a big ol momma cyber-hug!
Your heart for your kids is huge! I'm certain that we will never be able to do all the things for our kids that we want to, especially as our families grow. I hold onto a bit of encouragement from my pediatrician, given shortly after Madeleine was born and I was near tears from sleep deprivation and the fear that I was completely failing my second born due to my inablity to keep up. He reminded me that I may not have all the time for her (them) as I did when I was a momma to one, but that my kids had each other and there was some much value in those relationships. I know your girls are already friends and they seem to be bonding with their little brother, too. Focus on that and be encouraged, mom!
I can totally relate. I have run over Ava so many times by darting out of a room. And yes, it kills me every time I have to promise Ava we'll do something later. But I keep telling myself, when she's 12, she won't remember it!
