Lost Identity

This morning I woke up sandwiched between 2 sleeping beauties and had to go to the bathroom so bad I couldn;t sleep any longer. The wedge I am in is so tight that any removal of my body will wake one or both of the babes. So I lay their and try to hold out as long as I could so that the day would not begin this early. When I finally get out and they both start screaming for me I know that I have no control how the rest of the day will go. I go to the bathroom with them standing watching me.( God forbid I get out of their sight.) I then scramble to make breakfast ala carte because no one will eat the same thing. Get one on the bus and head to the shower, where again I am the spectacle behind the glass doors that they wave at and laugh at only to get out and step in wads of toilet paper that Layla has decided to tear up. It is only 9 in the morning and I am already drained of my energy and my humility. What happened to the days that I got up when I felt like it, read in my book for awhile, had a cup of coffee with my co-workers and sat back to enjoy a day of work??? Oh yeah, I had kids!!! I struggle with not wanting to complain because I LOVE my children, I truly do, but something in this house has to give. Not being out of the sight of others EVER is completely killing the only part of ME that is left. Maybe a day at the spa is in my near future! Without my kids watching!!Ha

I know what you mean. I've got my own velcro child over here. Some days it drains the life out of me. :)

Girl, I am right there with you??? Deborah agrees also. No privacy. I am so tired all of the time. I guess we can rest in about 20 years or so. A day at the spa sounds great. Oh, Deborah wanted to know if you had started the paper chase again??

This post made me giggle.. not because you are sad though. You and I are wanting what the other has. I am dying for Madeline to be home and follow me all around. And you are dying for the peace and quiet I have all day long. Get up anytime, go to bed anytime, have breakfast and watch TV (real TV, not cartoons).... etc! THAT is what makes me giggle.

I think you should go out to the spa for a day. In Hershey, PA they have a "chocolate" spa... :) You want to come out and visit, don'tcha?

Thinking of you!
