Weekdays (particularly during the winter) at home tend to feel longer and more exhausting than usual, mainly because my husband is sleeping and/or working so it’s just me and the boys for most of the day. I try to find entertaining activities and such but nothing beats getting outside, in my opinion. Since it’s so cold out, though, going out or to the playground are off-limits for much of winter. Therefore, cabin fever definitely sets in. Here is my day in GIF form:
MY HUMAN ALARM CLOCK BEGINS WAKING ME:

I TRY TO STAY IN BED AS LONG AS HE’LL HAVE IT BECAUSE:

MY TODDLER WAKES UP:
via GIPHY
I’M EXCITED TO SEE HIM BECAUSE I MISSED HIM WHILE HE SLEPT (MOTHERHOOD IS WEIRD, I TELL YOU):
via GIPHY
I NEED COFFEE:
via GIPHY
BABY IS READY FOR BREAKFAST SO WE IT’S BREAKFAST TIME FOR ALL:
via GIPHY
THEN IT’S BREASTFEEDING TIME (THIS IS WHAT I WISH I LOOKED LIKE BUT I DON’T…SURPRISING, I’M SURE):
via GIPHY
IT BEGINS. “I WANT TO SEE TV. I WANT MUSIC. ETC. ETC.”:
via GIPHY
I PUT ON MUSIC AND WE DANCE (I’M NOT A REGULAR MOM, I’M A COOL MOM):
via GIPHY
THE DAY PROGRESSES, WHICH ALSO MEANS MY TODDLER GRABS THINGS FROM/ HITS/ PULLS ON/ PUSHES FROM HIS BABY BROTHER, SO I AM CONSTANTLY ASKING HIM TO STOP:
via GIPHY
OH, MY COFFEE! I HAVEN’T DRANK IT YET. LET’S WARM IT UP AND TRY THIS AGAIN:
via GIPHY
BREASTFEEDING AGAIN, FOLLOWED BY BABY’S NAP:
via GIPHY
I’D LIKE A NAP, TOO:
via GIPHY
LUNCHTIME AKA FLYING FOOD FROM BABY AND FOOD THAT MIGHT NOT BE EATEN BY TODDLER:
via GIPHY
I TRY TO WORK, WHICH MEANS TRYING TO KEEP MY BABY FROM GRABBING MY LAPTOP AND/OR PUTTING HIS WHOLE HAND IN MY COFFEE AND SPILLING IT:
via GIPHY
TODDLER CONTINUES HIS ANTICS WITH HIS BABY BROTHER:
via GIPHY
WHAT DO I MAKE FOR DINNER????
via GIPHY
BEDTIME FOR BABY:
via GIPHY
GOOD NIGHT, SWEET BABY:
via GIPHY
I CONSTANTLY ASK MY TODDLER TO KEEP HIS VOICE DOWN:
via GIPHY
MY TODDLER’S BEDTIME IS NO BEDTIME. IT BASICALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT HAPPENS…#BOSSBABY #MOMFAIL:
via GIPHY
I AM TIRED BUT THEY’RE FINALLY ASLEEP… TIME FOR ME TO WATCH MY SHOWS:
via GIPHY
MY THOUGHTS AFTER A DAY OF LOVING ON THE BOYS, CHANGING DIAPERS, BRINGING MY TODDLER TO THE POTTY, BREASTFEEDING THE BABY, CARRYING THE BABY EVERY 20 MINUTES (BECAUSE THAT’S HIS MAX FOR ANY TIME NOT IN MY ARMS), TRYING TO PRACTICE NUMBERS AND LETTERS, SENDING EMAILS, POSTING, CALMING MY CRYING BABY, TRYING TO GET BIG BROTHER TO BE GENTLE AND BE NICE, WASHING DISHES, PREPARING ALL MEALS, DOING BEDTIME, ETC. ETC. MOTHERHOOD IS THE BEST BUT ALSO:

SO I’M JUST GOING TO SLEEP:
