Today is the first day since Christmas 2012 that I have had several hours in a row to myself. My oldest daughter gave birth to a beautiful son on Chirstmas day. We love this baby like crazy! He is here quite often and we couldn't be happier. This of course means he often sleeps here with Grandma and Grandpa.
We also have another daughter, age 15. She is very active in school and our church. Life is full.
I did not think that at age 47 I would be waking twice a night to feed a newborn, balance our two daughters, my husband and try to earn an income. OH! and eat right and workout. Yeah. right. I have been up today since 3:30am. At 6:30 I pulled out my kettle bells to begin my workout. I had planned an hour, until 15 yr old reminded me that today is her physical therapy day. Okay, 30 minutes, high intensity fast intervals. DONE! Circut training later. Can it all be done in a day, with joy and laughter. Yes. Is it always that way, no, but just knowing it can be, may be enough.
