Okay, really there's only 3 1/2 more weeks until Michael comes home from SLC (Senior Leader Course) in Ft. Lee, VA. He left a week ago today, and to be honest, it feels longer. Maybe it's the rainy and cold weather, keeping us inside more than we would like. But I think the biggest reason that it has been more difficult is that Nate has been terribly difficult; just plain ol' naughty. And not the 2 year old kind of naughty we're used to dealing with on a regular basis. I think this is God's way of helping me. Now when we go back to "normal" maybe I won't think it's so bad.
I know that it's difficult for him. He was asking about Daddy but now just says "Dada, work.", knowing what the answer will be. I think he's just craving some attention that he's used to getting. It's hard for me to juggle both of the kids when they both crave one on one time and can't get it. Nate really likes to cuddle and sit on my lap after bathtime but it's next to impossible without Maddie climbing up and wanting attention too.
With Fall break the next two weeks, or schedules will be different, but hopefully I have enough planned with playdates and activities that they will still have plenty to do to keep busy. Needless to say, I'm exhausted by the time they go to bed and find myself crawling in bed shorty after I put them down. Following some great advice, I'm going to find something sweet in the kitchen and then curl up on the couch during the rest of naptime. Don't judge me. :)
