Unsuccessful day

I had a list of things I wanted to get done today, but, as usual, everything did not go as planned.

Today I was trying to finish up the laundry room. Soon we will be getting a new wood burning stove. It will take a major change in the layout of the room to put it in the only appropriate place for it. Which means I need to finish cleaning out the room.

I don't know how I ended up with all of this stuff. I don't want to get rid of baby clothes, maternity clothes, baby things, etc. But I have to find storage for it all. Otherwise I will just have to rebuy it all. I can't wait until the attic is ready.

However, that is hard to do with a baby and a toddler. The jelly bean decided he wanted to be held and payed attention to all day. Monkey has not been sleeping well so she was running around all afternoon getting into stuff. She had to be supervised alot. She did not want to fold laundry. Oh well, I addressed xmas cards instead. That needed to be done also. Monkey went to bed early tonight, so things will be better tomorrow.

I read somewhere that parents have less day to day happiness, but more joy over their lives. I know that the terrible twos will pass and she will grow up to be a reasonable person. I just have to wait.

I also miss will this time with Jelly Bean. He loves me without reservation, and only I can meet his needs. I miss that with Monkey. Nursing is one of my greatest joys and I can't imagine not feeding my babies. It is God's greatest gift to mtohers. The ability to solely nurture thier babies.

I will go to bed and tomorrow will be a fresh day.
