kids

Let me start by saying I LOVE MY CHILDREN and I would NOT trade my life for anything, but there are some things I miss…

Ok lets just say it. I miss SLEEP. No it isn’t over rated I need it, I crave it like I crave my coffee and if you know me at all you KNOW I love my coffee. There are days I walk into my room and I could swear my bed is calling me.

Oh I do sleep… some… I make the bed, warm it up, cuddle with my hubby and than….

Ballerina: Mommy, I can’t sleep.
Me: Ok baby, lay back down. (I tuck her in.)

I lay back in bed, get cozy…

Baby: Waaaaaaaaaaaa

Me: check her toosh, give a fresh drink and cuddle. As I lay her down,

Baby: Waaaaaaaaa

Me: Cuddling with baby and sleeping on the recliner

My Bed: “Come back to me, I need you….“

You know what else I miss? Talking in complete sentences! My hubby and I have to wait till the kids are in bed to get a decent conversation in. By than we are zombies remembering we had a lot to say, but now we just can’t squeeze it all in or we are just to tired to spit it out.

You know what else I miss? I miss cruising with my hubby sipping my iced diet soda and talking about anything and everything. We try that now, but we get:

Oldest: Where are we going?

Us: We are just cruising.

Oldest: Are we going home?

Us: No not yet, just enjoy the trip. Look around see things.

Ballerina: Mommy, I gotta pee!

Oldest: Mom, I am hungry, can we snack.

Oh I know, in about 18 years when the last baby is in college, I will be missing the times I got up in middle of the night, struggling to get my words out and interruptions in the car. Awww to be Mommy!
