It's hard to be a mom!

Every once in a while, Rose turns to me when I should be focussing on Leo and giving her a break rather than doing something lazy, and says "I don't think you have any idea what it's like."  And it's true!  I have no fucking clue!  


A couple of days ago, coming back from work, I gave Rose a break by replacing her in bed while Leo was napping.  I was tired and slept for about an hour.  I was then *rudely* woken up by this baby who became increasingly agitated.  Boy, was I ever out of it!  As it is, I when I am awakened suddenly I am immediately struck by existential anxiety and disorientation and now I had to also soothe this baby.  This was only a glimpse of what Rose goes through every single day.  And so I take a minute and admit that I have no idea what it's like.  And I say to Rose, you're amazing!
