Daddy is coming home late again. He works endless hours in the pursuit of having enough to leave his kids wanting for nothing, and while it is admirable of him it sometimes leads to us all being more exhausted then we should be. On nights when dad works late it usually means take out for dinner but since that’s been happening more often than not the last few weeks it means mom has to give cooking a try... mr. noodles anyone? No... hmmm maybe cereal for dinner then? Ah ha I know! Mom makes killer pancakes, perfect! Sticky, sweet, syrup covered pancakes it is. Maybe even some fruit and a side of eggs for a little protein!
I actually could not be more pleased with myself for coming up with this somewhat balanced meal! Now I just have to get through the rest of the afternoon with these two crazy beasts that I somehow gave birth too. We spent the morning baking together, colouring pictures, and I even gave in to the constant begging to have nails painted. We had a little iPad time and some form of lunch. Finally the wonderful, blissful, relief of nap time came. Zoey naps like a champ, 2-3 hours every day! Isaac is starting to resist naps, I guess he is at the right age for it. He still goes to his room for about an hour of quiet time and more often then not he does fall asleep. As always nap time came and went so fast I felt like I barely got anything done. Somehow I managed to fold the laundry, load the dishes in the washer, and sit down with a cup of tea for five whole minutes.
Maybe a movie will fill the afternoon void. Not Moana though... I can not watch it again! Ugh, it’s stuck in my head now. Crap. Now I need to watch it so I can at least remember the words to the songs. #momlife
