life with two

i think because i have been tired all week, last nite i was looking forward to going out shopping. But it wasn't the shopping but more just the hanging out carefree. I spend my days with my two little ones, so they determine my daily schedule...when they eat, when they sleep or play, etc. Even though my man is at home at night, there is still sleeps, breast feeding, etc. I don't do lots in between because i am tired and i just want to sleep at the moment. (yes, can't wait for my little girl to get back to a routine!)

So it's nice to have a few hours where you just wander around, have coffee and a little something special, pop into shops and see what's out there. (popped into one of those dollar shops and they had electric hand held fans with a twist - they had a light which you could programme words into and they flash up as the fan spins around. Great stocking filler for my nieces and nephews!).

But last nite my man came home late and so by the time we got to the shops there was nothing carefree about it. We had to buy a 5oth pressie which was meant to be easy but wasn't. And didn't get to have coffee and hang out. Very sad.

And the nite before we had takeaways but didn't get what i ordered....so all very disappointing :)

It made me realise i really have to do better at scheduling time for myself. Otherwise I won't enjoy my two little ones as much and they will definitely not enjoy me! lol

I am normally up till 2am and then wake up 6am, , 7:30am, 8:30am...lots of broken sleep makes for a very sleepy mum. I'm having one of those 'what about me' moments :)
