Flying with Littles

Don't. That is the advice I give you. Not really. Flying out was the BEST experience anyone could possibly have with a 2 month old and a 22 month old child. The flight back home was the complete opposite.

 Now, to be honest the bad flight was due to timing... Eddison did not take a nap (other than the car ride there), she wouldn't eat, I didn't have time to buy her milk, and Leeland's ears kept popping making him SCREAM. So, of course what else could you expect from that?

Thankfully a sweet woman MADE me take her help and she carried a bag and my carry-on to meet my mom and dad. She attempted to take Eddison but as we know... Eddi has a stranger danger personality that allows anyone to hold her besides her momma.

I digress. The trip was amazing... I love my sil and bil so very much. They were amazing. Also, I am eating healthier because of them. All organic foods, veggies all the time... I came home cooked breakfast of eggs and ham, then for lunch today I had bell peppers. Totally NOT me. It is yummy though. We walked everyday while we were there and I want to continue that here. It would make me happier... Now, to just do it. Walking in MD was great because the roads were full of trees, and amazing scenery. While here we get houses and pavement. I will find the beauty in those things just to get out!

Now that we are back home I can't help but feel that tug of same-o same-o. I need to find a mothers day out or a gym with daycare so I can get at least an hour of alone time to regroup. (If you are shaking your head thinking what an awful mother - go away. We all have the need to get a break and we are okay to admit it.) I love my children but with no break sometimes I get a little exhausted of the monotony of it all.

Anyway, Leeland will be 3 months old Monday - he rolled over, he "sits-up", he is always talking and smiling. He is truly my sunshine. Eddison is a go getter and is saying full sentences right now. It catches me off guard at times. I feel like I am missing out on both of them growing because I am so busy with one or the other and don't really focus on them. Like, I focus on what I am doing, and getting it done, but I am not really focused. Make sense? So my goal is to set aside at least 30 minutes of alone time with each child every day. It makes me happy knowing I will get this time to enjoy the little things. While also finding an hour for myself!

Overall this month has been amazing. I would not trade a moment for anything. Well... if Tim were home to enjoy all these activities that would most definetly be amazing. But, he should be home for fourth of July, Leeland turning 3 months, and lord willing Eddison's 2nd birthday.

Love to all my bloggers!
