Charlie and Maisy slept all night last night. I am afraid to even say it for fear that tonight they will trade off being up. This is the second night in a row, so maybe it is a start.
Maisy has been absolutely throwing a fit when I drop her off at pre-school. She clings to my leg, screaming and crying, and they have to physically force her off of me. When I pick her up she is so happy and singing cute little songs and making me repeat after her all the things she learned that day. The teacher says she is fine after I leave. I begged Rob to take her this morning because I just couldn't handle leaving her screaming again. When I get her up in the morning and get her dressed, she says, "Where me going" and I say in an excited happy voice, "you get to go to school" and then she starts in on refusing to get dressed, going on and on about how she doesn't want to go to school. It is miserable.
Maisy wants to go to gymnastics every day. She loves it. I don't know how you tell if a child has natural talent to be a gymnist. She asks to go everyday. It is wearing me out though.
Getting up early every morning and getting 4 kids dressed and out the door is hard. Then a 9 hour work day. then 4 hours of driving the kids around everywhere and having to act like I have all the energy in the world while encouraging them to get their homework done or behave. Then I have to get them all fed, bathed, read them 4 or 5 books and in bed. Then there is always laundry and dishes every single night just to get ready for the next day. When I crash into bed at 10 or so, then I have to finish up any work I had or if it is a particularly great day, I actually get to read a book. People talk about the current TV shows they are following and I have no clue. All the Moms keep telling me it is all worth it and one day I will miss it all when I sit there bored at home wondering what my kids are doing. That seems so far off right now.
