Remember Julia Sweeney, who played Pat on SNL? I still love to do impersonations of her/him! Julia, not Pat, wrote a book on a collection of essays on Motherhood. Hello, I can relate.
"I want to be alone. I really need to be alone.
I took so long to assemble my lovely family... I went after creating family like a golden retriever running after a ball --how much does a the dog think about what he's doing? He doesn't think. He does. He is a doer. That's me too. I did it. I do it. I am doing it.
Every morning I get up and hustle. I'm sure this is true for most mothers. It's true for me too. This is what I wanted, after all. This was my dream. I'm always on task. I never go up the stairs of our house without looking around for what needs to be taken up. I never buy just one meal's worth of food at the grocery store. I drive carpools. I volunteer at the school cafeteria. I wait patiently outside the dance classes. I iron. I clean up the cat vomit. Make dinner. Walk the dog. I work at home and then really work, at home. I quell the rising ire in my roommates. I try to install harmony, efficiency, and a calm, enabling environment for my fellow family members. I often set the table two hours before dinner. I live by lists. I pick up things in our house and put them where they go. Chiefly, I'm the protector against chaos that threatens us. I am a good soldier.
I love my job.
Secretly I hate my job.
I love my family.
If only they would disappear."
Okay... I don't want my family to disappear And careful what you wish for. The last time I wished for a break, I ended up on hospital bed rest for two weeks. That really was a true story. I said, Dear God I need a break!! And that night, my water broke.
Seriously though, I love my boys. Very much. Here are all the pictures to prove it.

Super sweet pictures! Don't let those Swayze locks turn you into a hockey mom! Maybe he is born to dance? :-)
Eeeeep cutie patooties!
Oh Sabrina, I totally hear you!! And I only have one! I can only imagine how crazy busy things must be with two little guys at home. You are super momma! I agree with the post above ^, the little Swayze locks are ADORABLE! Both of your boys are just precious. It does get frustrating at times but you and I both know we'll look back and miss these moments. Maybe ;).
