My Babies

For the past two weeks Ozzie has been working nights, so that means he leaves at 1pm in the afternoon and doesn't get home until 10pm. This makes for a very long day, and even though he is a great help in the mornings, and mommy has been able to sleep in a few days, it still doesn't make up for the fact that I have naps, dinner, clean up, chores, bath time, books, and bedtime all by myself!! I know I shouldn't complain because  I am sure lot of parents are probably doing all of this and working and more by themselves and I would have to say my heart goes out to them because it is not easy. Noah has been showing off his terrible two's lately and it usually is after baths when I am at my most exhausted point, and just want to put them both to sleep so I can catch up on some crap TV or go to bed myself. But nights like tonight make me sit back and realize that they are so worth every ounce of tiredness, and every second of frustration. I know, and need to keep reminding myself that these days are so few, and nights that are hard only come once in a while and won't last forever. Of course in the moment it seems so frequent but I really need to stop and remind myself how this phase is so short and they are not going to be little for very long. Tonight after baths we went into Sissy's room to read our stories and Noah was being sooo sweet to Sofia, giving her love, and holding her hand while we were reading...melted my heart, and reminded me that moments like these are what it is all about.
