Today was the first day that Mr. C has gone back to work, and while I was expecting things to be a bit hectic, it actually has been going quite smoothly. Of course this is me talking at 10:40am and we have yet to reach the hour of doom (aka the countdown to bedtime).
I don’t expect everyday to go smoothly, I just know that I will take what I can.
One thing that I didn’t expect was to have sensation overload very quickly. I am at the point that by 3pm I don’t want to be touched by anyone. Sounds crazy right? But I know I can’t get that request fulfilled since Zee is extra clingy these days, and LittleZ…well you know he’s a baby.
When I had Zee, that feeling didn’t kick in until 5 months, and even then it was short-lived since she was busy learning to roll over, and reach for things. So hopefully, this will pass soon.
So while things are a bit…umm…different, I’m sure that there will be bad days and good days.
There is something that I learned from having Zee though:
I am the conductor and I set the pace of the day. –Me

I like your quote! I may have to steal that from time to time. 😉
Thanks Cam. Feel free to use that quote 🙂
I love that quote! it will get better mama!
simple, but powerful words of wisdom. I often feel like a conductor of a crazy symphony
You and me both. However, I do find that it is easier if its only me at home. Having the hubby home sorta slows things down and rev Zee up (a combination that I do not like.
It IS easier when I am home alone with them. Although hubby says the same thing, LOL!
I totally hear ALL of this, but it will get better, promise. When I saw my kids playing together the other day without needing me to do anything I was VERY happy–they were distracted by each other haha. Hold on the adjustment period will soon be over.
