I'm very much enjoying this Sunday night. Why you may ask? Well, because Caleb is sleeping, Jeff is home, and I can just sit and stare at the tv or computer. This past week and weekend was a test of my patience. If you don't know me very well, I'm not a very patient person. Ok, I may have gained a little bit more since having Caleb, but it's still thin at times.
Jeff is always working late, so it's Caleb and I most of the day. It's suprisingly hard to keep a 15 month old busy. Caleb is also in the stage where when he doesn't get what he wants, he sobs. Usually, I just try to ignore it, but after a full day of it, I'm ready for him to go to bed. Jeff also had an all-day bachelor party yesterday, so I got to enjoy a particularly challenging day of whining and crying. To top that off, I will admit- I was jealous that Jeff got to spend a whole day having fun with his friends.
I shouldn't feel like I do, but patience runs thin sometimes. And even though I wouldn't change my life for the world right now, I sometimes miss those freedoms of hanging out with friends on a Saturday. (and having adult conversations which don't include crying.) Ok, that's my dose of honesty for the week!
"Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off."
