hey … remember when I blogged every day?
yeah, me either.
life with a newborn is so amazing.
life with a newborn + a preschooler is just about the hardest thing i’ve ever done.
it’s still amazing. just ten gajillion times harder than i imagined.
we’re three weeks in now, and i feel like i’m kinda sorta hitting a groove, but there are still things that throw me into a tailspin daily.
one of ken’s riding buddies told him that his daughter had a hard time adjusting to a new baby in the house, and this buddy’s wife told him, “i can’t handle this. i don’t know what to do.” [something i say about 942 times a day] and he said, “well, imagine how you would react if i suddenly brought home a new wife that was going to live with us.”
in turn, i said, “dude. do you know how happy i would be if YOU brought home a new wife?! she could cook, clean, do laundry and wash dishes while i snuggle with lucy and play with emma. want me to help you find one?”
but when I’m hiding in the laundry room, curled up in the fetal position, I remember that this, too, shall pass.
in the blink of an eye, we will be sending our girls off to kindergarten.
and high school.
and college.
okay, excuse me while i go back into the laundry room for a while.
