Haven’t had much time to blog. Kevin and I are in triage mode right now. He’s slammed at work and is working 12 hour days and weekends. I’m juggling both girls single handedly which is ok except Kulia is having a horrible time with her teeth. Too add fuel to the fire, she had her six month check up and received FIVE shots. Unbelievable. I thought she was grumpy before. Ha! She turned into a screaming ball of adorable chub tonight. Her screaming freaked Leina out and she begain yelling “mommy, what’s wrong with sister? Mommy, mommy, hold me! I’m scared!” At one point I had both of them 9in my arms crying and clinging to me. I must say that as a mom, I have developed incredable upper body strength!<\/p>\n
Kevin stumbled home at 7pm to help get the kids to bed and then dragged himself back into work. He didn’t even eat dinner or shave today so he looks as ragged as he feels. I broke down in tears last night right in the middle of washing a huge pile of dishes just from feeling so overwhelmed. Yup, it’s definately Christmas time! Time to run around like crazy trying to cram everything into on measly month. Sigh.<\/p>\n
I’m doing much better today. I had a beer with dinner and I must say, I’m feeling rather….floaty. It’s been 15 months since I’ve had a beer so I’m afraid the alcohol has gone, voosh, right to my head. Rather pleasent really.<\/p>\n
The girls are great. Leina is loving her advent calendar. Every morning we check off another day and she gets a little present. Today, she found cocktail umbrellas in her Advent box. You know, those little paper umbrellas they put in tropical drinks? She adored opening, closing and twirling them. She tucked them behind her ear or held them over Kulia’s head to keep the pretend rain off. They were quite a hit.<\/p>\n
Kulia? Well, she is scaring the pants off me. She’s clocking in at a whopping 18lb 10oz right now. Even more frightening, she’s getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth with the most manical gleem in her eye. And you know what that means.<\/p>\n
Crawling.<\/p>\n
Yup, I predict she’ll be tearing around the house by Christmas time and it keeps me up nights just thinking about it. I remember what a handful Leina was when she started crawling and Leina was 1 year old. She understood “no” and “don’t touch.” Kulia, at a mere six months old, is not even close to understanding that. I have horribly vivid dreams of me chasing after her as she speeds around the house stuffing everything that isn’t nailed down into her mouth.<\/p>\n
Gonna need a lot mroe beer.<\/p>\n
So excuse the lack of posts but Kevin and I are running a marathon right now and until we get out from under this horribly busy time, it’s going to be a long slog. It would help if they stopped moving the finish line on us but hey, such is life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
