I am so thankful to have the opportunity to stay home with my kids. I set my alarm for 7:30 every morning so I can get up, shower, and do my hair and makeup before the kids wake up. Gabe is usually up at 8:30, and Presley will sleep until 10:00 if I let her (but I don't!)
The three of us sit in the dining room making faces, chatting, and giggling through breakfast. There is seriously nothing better than listening to your kids laughing and seeing them smiling. It completely melts my heart. We have the happiest kids in the world.
After breakfast we play, and play, and play. We have lunch - and continue the laughing, giggling, and chatting... but it's usually not as exciting as our breakfast table talk because both kids are starting to become restless and very crabby. After lunch they go down for their naps. That gives me two hours to cleaning the house, work on training the dogs, catch up on my TV shows if I missed any of them the night before, and relax. The kids wake up and we play, play, and play some more. I start making dinner, husband comes home, we eat, and then we play, play, and play again, take baths, and go to bed! Trey usually goes to bed immediately after the kids are tucked in. Sometimes I do too, sometimes I sit up and have some "me" time.
Typical day in our house.
The reason I am writing this post is because I need to remind myself of how good I have it. How great my life is. How awesome my kids and my husband are. I am going back to the doctor today to have them tweak my anxiety medication... so while I sit here complaining to my doctor that I am feeling completely overwhelmed at times... I need to sit back, take a deep breath, and just calm down. We have a gorgeous new house, healthy kids, and husband who works his butt off so he can buy me and our kids nice things. Other people would love to be in our shoes. In reality... I really don't have anything to be so stressed out about.
