Can I just say I am not at all slightly jeal...YAY! Can I just say I am not at all slightly jealous;)>? I have none except for work right now and it SUCKS! Jax will go to preschool 3 hours a morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays in September and I am just looking forward to having just 1 kid. I NEED A BREAK lol! So...I have set my sights to fall 2014 when they will be away together for a morning or 2 a week:). Of course, I'll probably just end up working....sigh.... Balance is not something I have right now...but I love reading about yours, it gives me hope:)!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064955747540959696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-43999975227899672062013-06-21T21:16:00.902-05:002013-06-21T21:16:00.902-05:00The sweet taste of "me" time.

Thankfully, my MIL is really close by and takes Samantha some afternoons for a few hours so I can get some "regroup" time :) But then a lot of times I spend it cleaning or doing chores! So glad you are getting some balance back!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364801556842061320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-55905061185284915102013-06-21T14:00:09.694-05:002013-06-21T14:00:09.694-05:00Yay for peeing alone!

I really enjoy my time at work! I like having adult interaction and being able to eat lunch in peace. I agree that I am a better mom for Avery because of the distance, not despite it. Also, I am confident Avery is happier out and about with other kids and activities than being at home with me all the time! Maybe if she was less active or if she was timid it wouldn't suit her so well?<br /><br />I am so glad you are feeling some balance! kkasunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183334533316759163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-17178827479112424582013-06-21T05:40:06.544-05:002013-06-21T05:40:06.544-05:00Haha "giggling with glee" totally descri...Haha "giggling with glee" totally describes me, too, when I dropped them off at MDO. Sadly they don't go during the summer. There is nothing stranger than peeing with 4 heads trying to peek into the toilet at the same time. Counting down the days til the fall when it starts up again!!quadmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254199098599230245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-38119478330019379872013-06-21T02:15:21.512-05:002013-06-21T02:15:21.512-05:00Yay for alone time!
