A little break, please.

I don't know exactly when it happened but for months now my life is so completely chaotic. I feel like... like time is just pushing forward and forward and I can't make it stop or at least slow down so I can catch up.. to catch my breath, my sanity.. the dishes, laundry..and everything in between. Being a mother of two young kids is a completely different game than being a mother of one. And you can't believe it until you're actually living it (and no, being a daycare provide doesn't even come close either). If one child is content, the other is fussing for my attention in some way. It is a very rare occurrence that they are both happy and content for more than oh, fifteen minutes. Tyler has practically been an angel lately but Dylan is just not a happy boy lately :[ He has his second ear infection and I believe is working on his 6th and 7th tooth. He won't eat solids (again) due to this which is really driving me insane but I'm trying really hard to not let it.. All of that with a touch of separation anxiety is not a fun time. He practically stops breathing when I leave the room (even though he can almost run now), lay him down to change his diaper (which, oh yeah, he has a yeast diaper infection. Awesome.) or put him in his high chair. And when he cries he breaks out with hives all over his forehead. Look, I'm not here to complain or look for sympathy because after all, I did know how close in age they were going to be when we were trying to conceive Dylan, I'm just putting my thoughts on the screen or they don't stay locked up in this head of mine. Being a mother of two is hard. I look forward to the day when I can sleep past 6:30, eat an entire meal from start to finish or use the restroom uninterrupted. Until then.. I'll be here.
