For years before I had kids of my own, my sister would complain to me about how her little ones always seemed to have an inkling that their momma had something going on. Every time she had an event, a trip, a long awaited date with her hubby- absolutely anything- her kids would get sick or something would go wrong.
I now know exactly what she was talking about. My little ones have super spidey sense's when it comes to me and anything I do. As moms, we look forward to a night out, a weekend getaway, or hell, a solo trip to the grocery store. We wish for a time where we can hang up our "mom hats" for just a moment and get away from our never ending to do lists. Of course my heart is in my home, but sometimes the need to re-charge my battery or reboot my system arises. I am fortunate to have a husband who never gives me the gears about going out for dinner or drinks with the girls. Although the times I take advantage of it seem to come infrequently, when they do, something always goes wrong.
I'm not trying to throw my hubby under the bus, but last time I went out, he "forgot" to change the girls diapers before bed so I had a disastrous night. Both girls were up at 2am soaking wet and I had to deal with the reprecussions all night long. If I'm not home for bedtime, I'm guaranteed to have some sort of issue throughout the night, not because of Jared, but just because I'm not home. Like clockwork, just when I find my perfect comfy bedtime position, someone is up.
Whether it's a cup of coffee in the afternoon or trying to blog on the odd day they both nap, someone wakes up. It's as if they just know that mommy has something to do and they don't want me to complete it!! Oh, and we can go months and months without being sick, but without doubt, if we are going away on a family trip a cold or flu rears its ugly head.
Maybe it's just me and Mol? Or maybe it's just a reoccurring coincidence? (I think not!!) I love my girlies so very much so I really do adore the fact that they want to be with me all the time. Really I just want them to have a rough night when it's daddy's turn to get up!!
