7 am roll over to the sound of one of the two children who currently control my sleeping schedule, they demand my presence in the kitchen. I roll over not ready to give into their demands. 7:15 the children s ally the dog starts to weigh in on my neglecting the children and his needs. So he begins attacking me with moist licks and sniffs tugging on my blankets, circling my bed, back and forth demanding my presence at the back door. 7:30 am I give in to the war being waged against my sleep and I roll out of bed. Stumble to the back door to take care of the pesky dog first because his noisy identification tags are loud and annoying. Then onto the kitchen to meet up with my needy offspring. And so the time battle begins.....
I thought after done working in the corporate world that my life would be so easy. That I would sleep in and just lay around all day and do what ever I wanted. And this pre- conceived notion was in place with the knowledge of taking care of my two children and being pregnant. Suddenly I feel as foolish as a middle school' er thinking high school was going to be fun. Turns out being a stay at home mom is more demanding and exhausting than the corporate world could ever be. Turns out reaping and sewing is totally true I used to judge stay at home moms assuming their day's were easy and filled with leisurely strolls and nothing but Facebook time. I am now reaping the judgments I passed on so many. But Lord I think I have learned my lesson can this get easier now???
Somehow I am not thinking that it will get any easier and that is something I am just going to have to embrace. Homeschooling a preschooler and kindergartner as well as preparing for the third child, this is only going to get worse. I am going to have to re asses this battle going on against time. The one thing that seems to have been against me since the beginning. I will get this figured out... I must!!
