My goodness. I love my boys to bits but the holidays are always such an emotional rollercoaster for me!
They are 5 & 3, they just simply do not stop. There is no such thing as a restful, slow morning, let alone a restful and slow day/week! I really wanted to try and fit in a little but of time to relax a bit but that is not going to happen.
They are not interested in 90% of their new toys. The house is a constant mess. I can’t get anything done without them both following my every move and then making further mess behind me. They touch everything. Throw everything. Fight 95% of the day and rarely go more than 30 seconds without asking for something. It is A LOT!
I have no energy left for softplay (youngest won’t go in by himself yet), nor swimming or taking bikes out. I’m so tired, my body is crying out for rest!
Christmas Day itself was lovely, as was the build up as we were kept busy and motivated. Buuuut… this week is HARD!
Rant over - thanks for listening 😅
