Do you get me though? That guy or partner or significant other that lives with you.....yeah him.....you actually dig him, at times like him and you love him ....really you do and actually at times forget he is there.
My mornings are crazy during the week. I get up..work for an hour...then Milah usually wakes up after. I change her diaper, put on her fancy pink clothes and give her a bottle. Then I feed the cat and feed the dog. Usually by this time our Ginger has come back from her walk with daddy and is full of energy. I start breakfast. Boys wake up, (daddy is gone by this point) I make sure they get their morning chores done and dressed. Then it's breakfast while the kids are eating I rush to get dressed. Then I make lunches or pack the lunches in the book bags and put everything by the door. Breakfast is over, I brushed their teeth, comb their hair, pack the car, put ginger in her crate, say hello to the bird Pearl, change her food if it's needed, kiss Bashfull our cat goodbye, put the alarm on and I'm off. First stop is Lucas at the bus stop, then drive Milah to my parents, drop her off then it's off to Noah's school. After dropping Noah off, I drive back to my house and switch cars...I get in my work car and start my field work. At the end of the day, it happens all over again. I drive home, switch cars, drive to pick up Noah, then Milah and back at my house to get Lucas from the bus stop. And it doesn't end there......no sir.....the second phase of the day begins.
Usually after Lucas gets off the bus, it's homework with both kids, then it's sports like swimming, soccer practice, piano lessons, religion classes or tae kwon doe. Happening on different days. Then I cook.....a home cook meal. Only Friday's do we do pizza night but every night I cook meals that include protein and veggies and good stuff for growing kids. Then it's bath time, book time and then bed for the kids. Then for me it's work again for about two hours every Monday thru Thursday.
The whole time Fabio is there. Helping with homework, taking them a bath, reading to them, clearing the table, putting them to bed, yes he is there and we talk but it's all about the kids nothing about us. Usually by the time I finish work he is sleeping and the whole week is the same. We only get to catch up on the weekends. And thank God for texting, I talk to him more through texting these days. His mom told me the other day, "oh Fabio didn't tell you". Haven't spoken to him in three days I responded. She said you haven't seen him in three days she asked, I said "oh I have seen him, I just haven't spoken to him about anything but about the kids". We are two ships passing through the night.
We laugh that we have no time for each other and through the week we do text each other " I love you, miss you,...along with take out the garbage, don't forget sports night is Friday oh and we need milk.
One day we will have all the time in the world when our kids leave our nest until then we have to keep going and never forget how we got here. It's just like that saying
"It all began when two people fell in love".
