I hate the early morning too, I basically just stumble around being unable to form proper sentences and trying to stop people from falling headfirst into stuff for the first half hour at least. Maybe when they're older they'll sleep more.

It doesn't help that on the way we pass a playground and the library so we usually end up being out loads longer than I anticipated! <br /><br />I totally get what you mean about wanting to be alone for a while! Sometimes after they're in bed, even, he'll be trying to talk to me and I'm like 'ssshhh for a few minutes please'. Silence is necessary sometimes! <br /><br />Thanks for hosting it, I really had fun keeping track of my day - it made me realise that even when I feel like I'm not doing much with them or paying them enough attention I'm actually doing ok :-) anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-80217442719888845362015-03-27T19:09:59.445+00:002015-03-27T19:09:59.445+00:00When we were in Ireland two years ago, I was so im...When we were in Ireland two years ago, I was so impressed by how many mums I saw walking about with their children in the cold (50F) weather. You just don't see it here--maybe because our layouts are a bit different--without a city center? I know I should be better about getting out and walking with the girls but I'm a weather wimp.<br /><br />Love that Rhys puts the kiddos to bed--we both do it at our house but sometimes after I've been with the girls ALL day I just want to relax ALONE for a few minutes. <br /><br />And why must we always play the bad or boring character? We've JUST started roll playing at home and I want to be the cool character. ;) Thanks for sharing Bex.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-12573115750436316332015-03-27T15:04:35.503+00:002015-03-27T15:04:35.503+00:00Sounds like quite a busy day!
