Home Often?

To some we aren't much... To others we are highly valued. In ones view, we might appear to have all the time in the world. To ourselves, we know, time isn't always on our side.

We wake up with an agenda already made by the kids. You would think we run our own life... But in reality it all revolves around our kids schedule and mood. You can tell a kid this and that but one wrong move and bam... You're on the floor cleaning a mess.

Yeah, there are real super moms out there... But I haven't met one yet. So when you do... Please let me meet her. I want her autograph.

Naps are a must!
If the kids happen to skip a nap... All hell breaks loose. However, naps aren't always best if they last hours and hours. Or, if they only last 15-30 mins. It has to be the right amount of Zzz's or else.

And snacks. And paying the bills!
And running around town with your hair in need of a touch up.
Goodness, life is hard for a stay at home mom.
Too many jobs for one person.

By dinnertime... I'm ready for a glass of wine.
I normally skip the alcohol since I'm breastfeeding.
But a sip or two will do. Anymore and I'll feel dehydrated.

I bet if I wanted too or had the chance. I could be the CEO of a major company with all my experience rolled into one being. Well, at least I get the paychecks every pay day without clocking in.

Lately

"Cause no matter how big the storms... I know I can find me a place that's warm.
The sun is shining somewhere down in Texas." - Jason Boland

Lately life has been so tiring. I'm tired of hearing this and that... Tired of folks treating me as if I have no feelings to be justified. I may seem like one more ass on this world but to my family I'm worth everything.

Did you ever take the time to think 'bout who I might be...
Where I have been? What I'm thinking?

I'm someones sister, someones mom, & someones wife.
I wish you could take a walk in my shoes, for a start.

3rd Trimesters & Summer...

...obviously do not mix well!!!
So I've been cooped up in the house for days...
Only to get out when I need to run errands!

4th of July is Saturday and I hope I can put on a straight face. I most certainly do not want to be outside in that torturous weather. Ugh, seriously, I wouldn't mind if Jeremiah was older and could fend for himself. However, he is soooo stuck on me like a leech. I love him so much but gosh... With him being young it makes it harder to mingle and have a good time. Especially when he is tugging on me.

Overall, today has gone pretty good. I was able to catch a nap while Jeremiah fell asleep next to me on the couch. It is rare that he falls asleep outside of the crib.

Bucky has been working 7 days straight and I am so exhausted. Whenever he get home, he does help out with the kiddos, Thank God! Oh, he is such a good hubby. Sometimes I take him for granted. But when the day ends, he knows he is loved by me! Goodnight kisses are never forgotten and morning kisses are a must. Believe that...

Well... I am about done here.
C'mon Katherine... Momma's waiting 4 ya!

A little down...

Woke up tired, as usual.

Sometimes I wish I had loads of energy but I don't.

I'm sure it's just this pregnancy... Let's hope!

I feel weak. I feel broken. I'm not the same person I use to be.

Maybe I never was a person to be... Does that make sense?

Ah, who cares. Or so that's how I perceive life to be.

I need an outlet. I need to stop getting pregnant.

Maybe then I'll be able to live a little more.

After this child, I'll be homebound for a few months

and then, hopefully, I can do my own thing.
