Weekends over... and it's back to work... I usually spend all week frustrated that we have so little time with the kids during the week and pining for the weekend when I get them all to myself.... we get home, it's a rush to get supper going for "starving" kids who I know just had a snack and hour and a half ago :) and then get at least one room of the house cleaned up and in order, get baths taken, get a load of laundry done... maybe folded... we'll be lucky to get it put away.... check our emails.... and then it's time to get everyone heading for bed it seems... there's barely an hour in there to let the kids play, listen to their day, listen to their chatter together.... or if they want, a half hour for them to get on the ipad or watch tv (their choice) .... and we're suddenly cut off... get them washed and brushed and scrubbed and into fresh jammies and tucked into bed.... then a snack and water and back to bed... then answer whatever question Bella has come up with and send her back to bed (Buggy is much easier to get to bed once he's IN it....) and then maybe three more questions, and itch, another drink and Belle stops coming out of her room :) and is asleep... then it's finish up our stuff, or maybe be naughty and sneak in a tv show (all our own and without inturruption?!?! no way!) and then off to bed.....
So I spend the week missing my kids and wishing for the weekend.....
and the week end comes :) and right now it sucks because it is winter and I have summer babies (only one was an actual SUMMER baby but they both would live outdoors if given the chance).... so we try to entertain ourselves inside... argue over how much room cleaning is really necessary... the day is unfortunately sucked up more than I like since everyone insists that they need to EAT.... so cooking and cleanup takes a good three hours of the day :( and of course Bella and Buggy have been in school and daycare respectively all week and only see each other from 2:00 on during the day so there's always the saturday morning acclimation to get used to being in each other's orbit again :) the power struggle to see who's the alpha again.... and they get it rather sorted out by noon.... by two they are wearing thin of each other and just hitting their grouchy spots... by four I remember WHY I work LOL ....seriously though.... some weekends I wonder why i spent all week missing them :) and some weekends I spend wishing I could be a stay at home mom.... seems to be par for the course with kids.... so everything gets played with, crafts get drug out, a video or two might get watched, lots of snuggling on the couch.... and if we're lucky the sun comes out more and more and we will get to start spending the weekend living outside :) and soaking up the warm warm rays.... and burn off more energy than inside can handle... seriously...HOW many times MUST you tell people NOT to climb on the back of the couch or hang on curtains? :)
So yes.... I'm starting out my week... and missing my babies already... and no, they are not really named Bella and Buggy....but that's what I call them and that's what they'll be on here :) they're both my bugga bugga babies :) and I'd go through everything to bring them that cookie to share too..... yes.... we watched a lot of Dora at one point.... let's not go there LOL
