Confession Friday
I confess that its been another long day and another long week and I can't believe it's already Friday!
I confess that I never bathe Holly. Is this bad? And this doesn't mean that Mike does either. I think she's had two baths in her life! Other than that, I just wipe the puke out of her hair.
I confess that Moses has watched way too much TV this week.
I confess that I am finding being a mother to two to be more difficult than I ever could have imagined.
I confess that I find myself feeling jealous of my husband and all the freedom he still has.
Hm... that's all.
Must sleep.

yes, am I the first to comment??!!!
don't worry snookie, you're doing a great job! parenting 2 is brutal at first, but it does get easier. and Holly smells amazing so I wouldn't worry about a thing! I never bathed V either, but now she loves the shower and so things worked out alright! and I totally hear you with the jealousy thing......
love you.
I understood the feelings that are coming off your confessions in such a tangible way it makes me feel jittery. SO remember that stage. And it was HARD. And sucked. Transitioning from 1 to 2 kids was the hardest transition, kids wise, it's ever been. Hang in sister, you're not alone, send up a smoke signal if you need to vent, cry, scream, question, or just need an adult ear. (i think I qualify as an adult)
HUGS.
Oh do I understand this! 2 is so much harder and being a stay at home mum of babies and preschoolers is the hardest thing to do. Being a working mom in so many ways is easier when your kids are so little. I hear it gets better when the kids are in school so you regain a bit of freedom. I am at the point of considering childcare on a part time basis so I get at least a few hours a week to myself. Too bad we did not live closer, we could spell each other for a bit! Hang in there, you are not alone.
I confess to all those same things!!!
I confess I'm totally jealous of my husband all the time too, and it pisses me off that they don't get it nor will ever get how lucky they are! But I also confess that I love that I can only comfort the kids and have a stronger bond b/c we're together all the time :)
Being a mother to 2 is super hard, and no one really gets it unless you're experiencing it.
I can't imagine 2 kids - honestly one has me running ragged so props to you friend!
Also, I will join you on the jealousy train - the husbands get to go and do stuff all day long - adult stuff! Sigh!
I LOVE your confessions!!! Awww....makes me feel kinda normal!! It is hard being a stay at home mom, sometimes i think it'd be nice to have a part time job (even if I had to pay to work!)...but, when the kids are all asleep at night, and my throat isn't sore anymore from shouting so much....I feel so thankful for being able to stay at home with them, and remind myself how fast it has gone, and to hold on and cherish them while I have them at home still...but then, in the morning it starts all over again...:) The joys of motherhood!!! A little (or a lot) of Tv for kids and Gin for us, is alright!! WIsh we could hang out Em!
