Where has the time gone? Seriously, where???? Bramley is about to turn two. Secretly, all I can think is WOO HOO; I've kept her alive for TWO YEARS (and I haven't killed my husband in the process)! Thank you for all of your help with this.
What does the future bring? Potty training, moving to a big girl bed, molars, jumping off furniture, giving up the passy, asking to borrow my car keys... I can't even wrap my brain around it.
For now, my biggest challenge has nothing to do with the babe. It's all about managing my life. I feel like I am constantly spinning in circles. Quite frankly, I feel like I have twice as much time as a stay at home mom. I have 8 hours a day where i can control the chaos. Plus, down time means, uninterrupted time to surf the net for birthday gifts, check facebook, start my holiday card excel spreadsheet, pay the bills, read the Strength in Moms blog (go Katie!), while sitting comfortably in my desk chair and not having to bribe a 23 month old with fruit snacks and the promise of more bubbles. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love and adore Bramley. I cherish every minute we are together; but I just don't know if I could keep her engaged from sun up to sun down. I applaud all of you who chose to stay home; you are much stronger than me!
How do you manage it all? What are your tricks? How do you keep sane? Does anyone feel like me or am I just being a cry baby??? Give it to me straight ladies.
