In the past year I learned that life with two children is full of unexpected moments. Quickly the everyday schedule I had grown accustomed to flipped to an everyday struggle. For two years I had gotten used to sleeping all night, and not being up before the sun everyday. I was able to do things throughout the day and not have to juggle my time between two sets of nap times, two sets of diaper changes, and crazy feeding schedules. I began to miss those days, the simpler days where I felt as if there was more time in the day than I needed.
In the first few months of being a mom of two my mind went crazy, days were hazy, nights were longer than the days, and my social life had began to diminish. One morning sitting in the living room I started looking around and thinking; I could no longer recognize my life. The dirty pink clothes were piled up in the corners, toys spread throughout the floor, cartoons on the TV, papers stacked on the coffee tables, I could see the dirty dishes piled in the sink, and the trash can about to over flow, the smell of the third pot of coffee brewing, and seeing my cup about to be empty. I no longer remember when I last had a minute to myself, when was the last time I showered in peace, put make up on, did my hair. The only thing I knew about my new life is there was double the pink and triple the coffee.
