Clearly it’s taken me a while to return to this blog. I’ve been stumped as to how to keep my privacy while still sharing my life as it is. I think I may have to resort to using cutesy nicknames for my family, just so I can talk about them freely. I’ll just have to get over it.
Today is Sunday, which is normally a day for us to go to church as a family. But this morning, I am sitting at my laptop while BabyMuffin sits in his office (read: Exersaucer). It’s peaceful and I am glad I skipped church. Sorry God.
Now that I have three children, I’m very happy when the husband will take a kid or two. It’s like a walk in the park to just have two kids under my care. And when I only have one, like this morning? Vacation! Sometimes I get really lucky and husband will take all three kids, and then it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven!
Don’t get me wrong–I love my kids to pieces. I just get worn out by the constancy of being “on” for them. Since I am naturally an introvert, I find joy in times of solitude and quiet. It doesn’t happen too often with the crazy busy-ness of family life.
So off they went–two year old Cupcake, four year old Bito and my darling husband* who has yet be nicknamed. I shall enjoy the serenity of the time with BabyMuffin (and perhaps a nap when he naps!), and I will be excited when my three other family members return home.
*I asked my husband what he’d like his nickname to be in this blog, and he charmingly suggested, “Hot Stuff.”
