When strength leaves you
As you have noticed, I haven't had time or energy to update the blog for a long time. My husband got really sick this winter after a longer struggle in not acknowledging there is something wrong with his body and I've been managing everything basically on my own. Day and night with two babies, who weren't great sleepers in the beginning wear you out. Never to get into a deep sleep phase and not getting much help during the day. Of course me-time has been reduced to zero and so has blog-time. Life became easier with longer sleepinghours and keeping hard routines for the kids. If anything came in between it made everything more chaotic, so sticking to routines has saved me. I basically have had the girls glued to me, as my husband had problems picking them up or carrying them up and down the stairs. So even going to the supermarket always involves taking both with you and no room for breathing in between. It takes its toll on you. Even if my children are the best companions ever and I love doing stuff with them, you need to breathe sometimes.
