Catching up....

Whew! Where did November and December go? I tell ya, those months came and went and all the meanwhile, I have not posted once since Halloween!!! What is wrong with me? What's wrong, well, not meant literally, but is the fact that I'm Mother to a toddler! Now I know what all the other mothers mean when they tell you that once they are walking and have hit the toddler stage, that there is no stopping and boy is that an understatement! Being a full-time working mother, who gets to get her child up in the morning and take him to day-care (on the days Daddy works) I get to see him for a max of 30 mins (since I let him sleep as much as he can while I get ready for work and then get him up towards the end to have breakfast) work a 9 hour day and then come home to dinner on the table, thanks to my wonderful husband who gets home 2 hours before I do. After dinner, it is playtime, which is followed by a bath and then followed by our bedtime routine and then off the bed by 7:30-8 pm. After I get a whole whopping 2 hours spent with my son, I then proceed to get myself ready for the next work day by getting my outfit together and laid out, then doing laundry, washing dishes...you know, the normal stuff that makes a house run and before I know it, it's bedtime for Mommy and Daddy! And the day starts itself all over again. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and am very blessed and appreciative for what I have and to have such a wonderful husband, son and beagle. But like most people, I'm sure, I long for more time in the day where I can spend more time WITH the ones I love. So that being said, I also wish I had more time to blog these days, which I am promising myself in 2011 I am going to set special time aside to do. It's very easy to get carried away in the daily grind and I want to be sure to record times in Ashton's life that he can look back on and be proud that his Mom took some time and energy to record his special life on a blog. Happy New Year to you all! XOXO- Rachel
