Friday

Oh I am so tired today. I went out after work last night to a going away party for a guy moving to Arkansas. I only had one drink but I stayed there until 8:30 which meant I didn't get home until after nine. So it was 10:30 before I got to bed and then I was rudely woken up by a yucky storm at 12:30. Then D gets up to get ready for work at 4:00 so I guess you can see the pattern here.

It is so nice to spend the evening in the company of adults. Its been awhile since I have done that. I have the utmost respect for stay at home moms. Sometimes I don't know how they don't go crazy. While I would love to stay at home, I think that working makes me a better mom. It makes me step back and when E gets particularly trying I have a little bit more patience and a lot more love cause I miss her so much and cherish the time we do get to spend together.

So this makes her a little spoiled. I can't help it. If she is going to be my only baby the world will be hers, that's what I go to work for right.

My niece started kindergarten yesterday and I almost cried looking at her pictures, I was there when she was born I can't believe she has grown up so much already. Her birthday is next week and she will be turning six. Where did the time go?

now you already know some crazy sahm's ;)
Kids grow so fast, it's hard to remember sometimes that we should cherish every moment of it (especially when they are trying our patience). It's easy to get overwhelmed with day to day stuff.
E is a lucky girl to have you for a mom!

I agree. SAHM is so hard. I'm also a much better mommy getting out a few days a week. We can work on D, for a sibling ;)
