good days and bad

You know how sometimes work can be the kind of a place, where you can have good days and bad days. Well. I'm finding that taking care of my home and two kids is sort of like that, too. Children can almost be compared to co-workers, co-inhabitor's of the same functioning universe. Except that there is no time away from them. They are the co-workers you room with, sleep with, work with, eat with... they are always there!!! They can be the best thing to have around one day and then the next day they can just be the biggest pain. They can be totally logical and then totally illogical the next minute. Perdictable and under controll yet also creators of inexplicable chaoss and cause for complete loss of all controll. They are the one thing in your life you love so much that you have a hard time explaining it to anyone else (except for another parent, perhaps?) yet you cannot wait to have a few hours all to yourself at the end of the day. Extreme joy as well as work, work... work. It all can be so demanding that you dont know how to find more time in the day and also such a relief of your stress that you wonder how you ever lived without them... talk about "catch 22". Hmmm. Today was good day! p.s. Stella has turned white! Yeah, it only took a couple of months. My kids are from the same father after all. Ha. Really bad case of baby jaundice? Maybe!
