Do you ever feel sometimes like you’re just doing all the work it takes to get through each day? Like, you are not actually doing anything, yet you are so busy. Wake up, feed children, dress children, etc, until it’s time for bed and then up in the morning to start all over again?
That is how I feel lately.
There is nothing to update you on, not really. There is only the routine, the every day. Noel continues to struggle with epic meltdowns that include but are not limited to punching, kicking, throwing toys and slamming doors. Holland continues to nurse as much as every two hours over night, even though Thursday will make her 16 months old. I have Christmas shopping to do and business tasks to complete and mountains of laundry to wash, and that’s really not the most exciting reading.
The single thing that stands out for me over the last week is that we had our annual wine and cheese party with friends, and it was a much needed gulp of air, a break from the monotony. There really is nothing like an evening of adult conversation and lots and lots of saturated fat.

Stephanie,
Yes I do!
Wow, I remember when I was still nursing my little girl AND dealing with the diagnosis of my son. Bad days seemed like a dark and lonely cave. I am wishing you much sunshine in 2010. Rest will help. You won’t have this rigorous schedule forever. These meltdowns will lessen in time, and as Noel gives you more clues to how to help. Hang in there. Keep us posted.
