Where do I find the time... I ask myself that a lot. I'm just trying to survive this crazy semester... just trying to get through it.
On another positive note... I've found one more thing to do other than my homework. Photography. It is something that I've been dabbling in for awhile and I'm so excited to be getting more involved in it. A few people have asked me to do photos for them and I'm so excited by this! You may wonder if I'm crazy for taking up 'one more thing.' But it is something I need... it is a stress reliever, it makes me happy and I really just enjoy it. In the end if I 'fail' at this I will at least gain many beautiful pictures of my girls.
So what have we been up to... We drove down to Tom's parent's place this weekend and had a wonderful time visiting. I don't believe we had been down there since Christmas! Abby loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa D and playing with them. She actually does very well down there now and while she leaves many little 'reminders' of her being there... at least she hasn't destroyed their house completely! It is always fun to go down there. It was a nice change of scenery and just felt like a mini 'vacation' (which we could all use!)
While we were at church she hurt her arm and this made having fun a little harder. We had it looked at by the doctor today when she got her stitches out and the Dr thought it was 'nursemaid's elbow' where the joint gets dislocated. This is the 4th time she has hurt her arm like this and this last time it took 24 hours for her to use it again. Poor baby. She did very well getting her stitches out though and it was quick, easy and painless. (Apparently she had taken one out already because there was only one left in when we got there...
How have K&K been? *sigh* Hard. It's just been that type of week...
I've hardly slept the last two nights. The girls are waking up constantly and I can hardly keep them asleep. On top of this at night they have had screaming fits where I can hardly calm them down. I think the Prevacid is losing it's effectiveness. After some research I learned that the form the Prevacid is in for the girls only has a short shelf life. Therefore... screaming...angry babies=new medication needed. Hopefully Tom can grab a new set for them. In a way it's a little funny... here I had started to think: "Maybe we didn't need the medications? Maybe there wasn't anything wrong with them." or "Maybe the reflux wasn't that bad and I was just tired since they were so young..."
HAH. If anyone want's to experience a TRUE reflux 'attack' come by my house at around 7pm-9pm and watch... you will never want to do it again. They scream, and scream and scream... nothing works, you can feed them ,change them , cuddle them, put them in swings, give them a bath.. nothing... works. And by the end you are so sleep deprived, so frazzled that you can hardly stand it. It's not 'crying' or 'fussing' it is Angry blood curdling screams that just grind on you... for hours.
Well I should try and look over a few more things of homework... or go to bed which sounds a lot better. I hope tonight goes better than the last!
Something I think about a lot:
Being a mother is a job that is more frustrating, more exhausting, more difficult and more rewarding than I ever dreamed it could be...
