I am done!

I am cool with being alone with the kids the majority of the time. I am a stay at home mom. That is part of what I signed up for. It does occasionally get lonely or boring. I like having an adult around to talk to sometimes. It is nice to not have to do all of the work all of the time. But I can do just fine alone. I open jars and make sandwiches one handed. I read books while nursing. I can tickle two little people at one time.
Most of the time, no problem.

However.... I hate....I dread....I am shaken by.....having to do bedtime alone.
By the end of Tobys day he is done. Done obeying. Done sharing attention.etc
By the end of Aimees day, she is done. Done being awake. Done being stimulated
By the end of my day, I am done. IF ONE MORE PERSON SCREAMS AT ME, PULLS MY HAIR, PUTS THEIR FEET ON MY FACE....
Everyones day ends about the same time.
It takes 2 adults to do it well.

And, of course, Aimee has this sensor that goes off when there is only one parent available. She must think "oh no, it is just mommy! well, i wouldn't want her to get lonely, so, i will stay up and keep her company. of course, mommy won't understand my plan, so I WILL MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR"

I know that I am whining. I am very blessed. Some people are single parents. Some people have spouses that can't help, or just won't help.
I am very blessed that the majority of the time I get to do tag team bedtime routine. I am spoiled. I will admit it. Just please, don't make me do bedtime alone very often.
