When we didn't have Rose, I'd whine about feeling tired. I felt like I did it all the time. I'd even cancel plans occasionally.
Now, despite working full time, getting up at 4 a.m. three days a week, and having emotional battles with her that keep me awake a few times a week, I find I can plug through almost anything, even a rock concert, if it means I get a few hours to be alone with Mike or among adults.
Tomorrow Rose gets to go to her first birthday party in Minneapolis, which will be nice because most of our close friends have children a little younger. So until now she's been hanging out with people much older o rmuch younger unless she's at school or camp. She's so excited. Tomorrow we'll get the gift for her friend, and Mike and I will nervously wait to pick her up and hope it goes well.
I thought I'd end this blog with the "Times Like These" video from The Foo Fighters. The lyrics seem to fit our life right now:
"It's times like these you learn to live again.
It's times like these you give and give and give.
It's times like these you learn to love again."
