Long days

Today was one of those days where I felt like I ran a marathon inside my home.  Seriously, I think I might have met my 10,000 step goal without even hitting the gym.  Every time Liam fell asleep, Laney woke up and vice versa.  I never got more than 2 minutes to myself today.  Then Patrick had to work late so my day job turned into a double shift.  Somehow, I manged to make lunch and dinner for the three of us, and even bathed the children tonight.  These are the kind of days that no one tells you about when you mention you are thinking of having kids.  If you knew about these days and the overabundance of them, well, having kids may not seem as appealing.  Even still, I got a chance to have some one on one time with each of my kids and I know that made them both feel special!

I will now sit down with some knitting needles and my brand new iPod (thanks mom!) Nano for some R and R.  This thing is so small and it still blows my mind that ALL of my music fits on it.  

I still remember my college days of flipping through CD collections housed in giant black Case Logic notebooks, making mix tapes for long drives, and having to lug my collection back and forth from my car.  Now I can just clip that entire collection to my arm band and away I go.  Can't wait to try it out at the gym tomorrow.  That is, if my kids will actually allow me to leave the house...
