Remembering
Trying my hardest to remember what it is like to be little and full of energy and ideas when its getting close to bedtime. What it is like to be so damn loud.What it is like to throw your head back and laugh until your belly hurts, like my two are doing.Instead I am feeling tired ....tired....tired.... and wishing for quiet and that they would magically put themselves to bed. I'm trying to remember how to be patient and nice for that matter.Maybe i'm jealous of them having no agenda, how free their little spirits are, that they don't have a to -do list that never ends, that they can run around naked from one end of the house to the other post bath time and laugh hysterically. Just trying to remember what its like and finding it hard.

Oh Man, you nailed it! 100% understanding on this end and something I am struggling with even more now with two kiddos. Hoping they are sound asleep for you now and you can get a moment or two all to yourself!
So understand this! But you helped me understand too - why am I always so frustrated and grumpy when they are just being kids? Perhaps because they don't have an agenda at all much less one that matches mine. Why can't I remember that in the moment?
Carla, no kidding that not only do they not have an agenda they don't really care about ours, not in a bratty way but just its not important to them. This is the end of a 2 week stretch of basically no Joe, too as he's been working like crazy, so that is part of it, too. Jessica- yes, it definatley increases with the 2nd kid addition. Hang in there, is she sleeping any better?
Hey let you know when you figure it out, I thought it was only our two crazy kids who were like that at bedtime.....
