This year the anticipation of these trips seems worse than the weeks he's gone. I thought I'd be drowning with all three by myself and to be honest for a while I was.
But Benjamin has stopped teething and is fond of sleep again. So the bags under my eyes have shrunk and my level of sanity has been restored.
I have been trying so hard not to yell at them, a New Years goal Matt and I made. And I have been trying to not take everything so seriously. And I can feel a difference and am much happier. I know I have been blessed. I heard a quote from President Hinckley that said, "count your blessings, but make your blessings count." And it has worked. Love my job! I feel bad that Matt doesn't have as much fun as I do. What will I do when they all are in school? Probably sleep for the first year.
