I agree that these are the golden days of my kids' lives--and my interaction with them. However, that doesn't really help me get through a shitty day, kwim.
This is in a book that I own and I believe it illustrates it perfectly:
"The years rush past, as every older woman will tell the young mothers who complain that they still have two little ones at home and it seems like forever before they will all be in school. Oh no, they say, time flies--enjoy them while they're young--they grow up so fast... The mothers agree that indeed the years do fly. It's the days that don't. The hours, the minutes of a single day sometimes just stop. And a mother finds herself standing in the middle of a room wondering. Wondering. Years fly. Of course they do. But a mother can gag on a day." -- Jain Sherrard
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be really ticked if I have to put her on formula now, at 16 months. I've taken her off milk and we'll see if things improve. Chrissy, thanks for the vaseline advice...see there, the doctor told me to do vaseline! He said desitin then a layer of vaseline. Didn't matter anyway as I don't have any vaseline anyhow. (D6 and I made lip gloss with it one day, lol)
Had a nice night last night. I was fried when H got home and he was very understanding. I cannot believe the change in him since starting this new job. Really, it's more than a new job; it's a whole new routine for our family. Ever since we've been married, he's gotten up and left in the wee hours. Now he's home and we eat breakfast together and spend some time together. I'm more motivated and energetic in the morning because he's there and his energy is contagious. I think when it's all said and done that we will look back and remember this as a turning point for our family..the time when things started to really gel.
