And sometimes I don't.
Taking care of one child is challenging. Taking care of two is exponentially more difficult.
Feeding,
bathing,
diapers,
playing,
entertaining,
reading...
pumping,
interviewing babysitters,
taking kids to school, classes, etc.
Frankly it is the most rewarding and most exhausting job ever. Here is to recognizing that not every day is going to be the best...but any day can get better. Make sure to do something for yourself. So often we forget about what makes us happy in taking care of others. You can't do a good job taking care of others if you haven't taken good care of yourself. If it means getting a workout in, taking a bath, of simply piling the kids in bed and watching a show you've DVR'ed. Just do it...because lack of sleep, and self care will certainly catch up with you!
