The sunglasses I ordered for Jack arrived today.
It's a good thing too
because we were all about to have a collective meltdown at about 3:30 when the doorbell rang.
Sometimes me and my 2 1/2 toddlers stand at the sliding doors to the backyard
just daring the sun to come out.
"Go away winter!" we yell.
But it never works.
These last few weeks I feel like I've been up to my elbows in
spit-up, pee, vomit, poo and good old fashion tantrums.
Sometimes in the middle of all the chaos I think to myself
is this really my life?
where is me in all this?
I haven't I've seen me in a long time.
But today at dinner time the clouds started to part
the wind died down
and the sun came out.
We all ran outside and felt it warm our faces and shine on the frost covering our grass and I thought maybe it's going to turn out ok around here.
Then it clouded up again and Jack stole Lotties piece of bread and Charlie blew out of his diaper
so maybe not..

When I am in the "trenches of motherhood" I often remind myself that I wanted this...and I DO! It seems to help me...good luck! Cute glasses, by the way - and cool that you are in the pic, too!
I really liked this post. The way you phrased things reminded me a lot of how I think in my own mind. I ask myself the same questions and wonder if the winter darkness will ever go away. But today it was sunny and warm and me and my kids were so happy. I think the weather must affect everybody's moods. Sometimes I think I really wouldn't mind if we lived somewhere where it was always pretty warm. But I do love the seasons so I don't know. I hope the sun shines out there for you guys soon!
