streaking through the quad up to the gymnasium
i reFUSE to be asleep right now, it's obscene. Being around zech and lici makes me so excited to have kids while at the same time reminding me that i don't want to have them for awhile. they love you SO. MUCH. but the price is that are living for them, you don't live for yourself anymore. everything revolves around their needs. i had to sneak down here because zech fell right before bedtime and was screaming to be held and not have to sleep alone. did the 'ol hug-n-roll, works eeeeevery time.
now that i have time "for myself", i just packed zech's lunch for tomorrow and layed out lici's outfit, right down to her hair accessories. we painted our toes red tonight. they match, and we're precious. oh mich, fab discovery: bath time equals foot scrub time. i feel like i need to do something rebellious and un-mommy-like in my pretty red toes, maybe go streaking through the quad and up to the gymnasium.
after surveying the variety of parents and parenting styles, i've decided that i want to be exactly like my mom. so that's good to know, i'm never gonna have to deal with the awful "i'm turning into my mother!" realization, because i want that. i'm so excited to see how my friends' kids turn out! i'm sure they're all gonna be just like their mom's, just like we're all like ours. and i feel like none of us resents that, except maybe a couple. we turned out pretty okay though.
HA. i drank an ENTIRE cup of water, ALLLLL by myself, no grubby little hands sneaking fistfuls of ice just because everything is "mine wawa."
oh i do love them. tonight zech goes "thanks for singing to me laura. i love you," groggily as I was signing them to sleep, and it just makes me want to wake them up right now and play some more. but kids need something like more than 2 hours of sleep, they're real needy at this age :)
