Balancing Act

I said to my girlfriend Amy, that I feel like I'm in a never ending race: a race to wake up, to eat, to get out of the house to work. Then, to get to the girls, to feed them, bathe them, PLAY WITH THEM! and then bed. and it starts all over again...in the middle, there's the every day life "stuff" that is so damn time consuming: cleaning (a housekeeper I'm not but at the very least I like clean), laundry, blah blah blah. I'm trying to take better advantage of our time...so last night, after getting home from work, I got the girls in their pj's and took them to the library. It was the PERFECT time of day..no other kids..we had the place to ourselves. Rosie fell asleep, as if on cue, so my 2 year old princess and I could savor every precious moment. I am in awe of her sweetness, her character, her intensity and love. I was literally brought to tears watching her complete a puzzle last night, under her breath as she put it away, "I love my mommy".

Rosie is pure bliss, and her big round eyes are fixated on her wacky sister , all day long. She gives out these great big belly laughs that are contagious, and Julia is becoming lots more interactive with her...reading lots to her, and more recently, trying to reason with her! "Don't cry Rosie, Mommy will help us. She will, Really!!!" These little girls are so amazing, so beautiful. I really could go on for days...

Jason and I are finding little time with each other, and for that , things must change. Our schedules are totally opposite, so we see each other at the crack of dawn, mostly. Looking forward to some roll around and the RVC St. Pattys Day parade today....together!

New firsts: We had a huge Nor'Easter here that knocked out power for a few days, and took down hundreds of tress in the area..quite sad actually to see all these huge oaks and pines laying across the road. But Jason is cashing in, and in the midst of turning our backyard into wood kingdom, all in anticipation of heating season next year. He's having a whole lotta fun with his chainsaw! Rosie is eating applesauce and cereal..loves it!! Julia discovered sleigh riding and her shadow, who she calls her friend. And has decided that the moon is really named Mrs. Moon, and has boobs!
