If you could see me right now, you’d see me stomp my feet with arms crossed, with my lower lip protruding in a pout.
It’s not FAIR!
I wake up early in the morning to come home early for Malia. She’s typically asleep when I leave, and falls asleep within 30 minutes of me coming home….rinse and repeat.
It’s not FAIR!
Nearly 11 hours of my day is spent getting to and from work and of course, working….another 6-7 hours of that is spent sleeping. The other 5-6 hours Malia is sleeping…..with maybe a half hour break for me to actually interact with her. 30 minutes out of 24 hours? Imbalance much?
It’s not FAIR!
During maternity leave, she was always her most active at 10AM and again at 2 PM. She’d laugh, babble, talk and scootch around. I feel like I’m missing so much! Like this morning, I put her up against her daddy as I eased my way out of bed. I laid there watching them sleep, and was so excited to see her rol1 over onto her belly (half asleep) and scoot her way back towards me. She’d dig her feet into the mattress and push off. She kept going until she was up against me again.
SWOON! My heart melted and nearly broke because I had to scoot her over to her daddy again.
IT.IS.NOT.FAIR!
Even now, as I type this blog, I look over at her. She’s been sleeping since I got home from work. 🙁 I miss my little girl.
