Single Mom?!?

So obviously I am not a single mother.  I have a husband that lives in the same house as me…or at least is suppose to. Now a days it seems like I spend more time alone then with him. This whole night shift thing is really getting to both of us. Besides that he is also taking online classes to get his bachelors degree.  So basically our day looks like this. Colby get home about 5am bed by 5:30, I'm up with Harp between 7 and 7:30 and then we have breakfast. I spend the morning taking care of the kids getting them fed and dressed. Then maybe some dishes, laundry, cleaning, bills…whatever needs to be done. Colby gets up about 11-11:30 and check his homework. I make lunch for us. After which the kids go down for a nap, Colby does homework and I do more housework. The kids wake up basically in time to see Colby leave for work. Then its playtime, supper, bath, and bedtime. Not only do we not get to spend time together, he doesn't get to see the kids much or help with them. Even if he is awake I don't feel like I can ask him to help because he is working on school. Hopefully this changes soon with a job or position switch but for now I will put up with it because it mean I get to stay home and raise the kids which is what both of us want.

We are still working on the whole potty training thing. She isn't there yet but I do feel like we are getting closer, I hope. Today we only had 3 accidents, two of were while she was eating in a high chair. The other time she wet her pants a little but then peed and pooped in the potty.  What makes we think we are getting somewhere is when I ask her if she has to go potty she will tell me yes when she has to go and no when she doesn't. Next we have to work on her telling me she has to go so I don't have to constantly ask her. The one thing about doing potty training the way we are, no diapers just underwear, is there is a lot of laundry. I have to do at least one load everyday to wash her underwear to make sure she has enough for the day.

I have also started working out some. I have gotten a workout game for Zumba plus the Just Dance video game. I try to do those in the morning right away or during nap time. This will hopefully help me lose the weight I want but man am I tired. Once Waylon starts sleeping through the night or just longer periods of time at night should help. I really am looking forward to sleeping more then just 3-4 hours at a time.

Speaking of sleep…off I go.
