Crazy, Beautiful

O.M.G. This mommy of 2 under the age of 2 while working full-time thing is NO JOKE! I've been back at work for about a month now and it's hard. I'm having a difficult time balancing home and work and while I'm doing my best to meet the needs of everyone on both ends, I'm not doing so very gracefully. I'm constantly guilt-ridden over none of my roles being fulfilled very well. But, such is life. I'll adapt. I hope. Millions of other women are doing it...and so can I (my daily mantra)! :) My mom came down for three weeks to help with my transition back to work and I couldn't have been more thankful for her presence. She cooked, cleaned, packed lunches, washed laundry and most importantly, took care of sweet Lukey so he didn't have to go to daycare quite so soon. She's been gone for a week now and we're doing our best to hold everything together on our own. We had lots of fun while she was here, too! We went to the pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, baked, rode trains, and made way too many trips to the mall! Thanks again GJ!! We miss you tons! As crazy hectic as things are right now, I have to admit - I'm not sure I'd have it any other way (aside from going back to work so quickly). I'll get the hang of things - or I won't. Perhaps this is our new normal. It's messy, stressful, and overwhelming at times...but so, so worth it. My heart is intensely full of love for the root of all of this craziness - our two baby boys!
