Megan: sips coffee Ughh, I juust caaan't keep up with thesee twoo. It's craaazy, ya knoow?
sits down next to you yeah, i can imagine. they're at that age where they want to do everything on their own too huh?
sighs Yeah, totally. It's like they have all this energy and independence but nooo idea how to use it properly. They're always running around and getting into stuff they shouldn't be in.
sips coffee again And don't get me started on the messes they make...
laughs from the living room Yeah, they're little balls of energy! But hey, that's part of their charm, right?
laughs and rolls her eyes Yeah, you're right. But it's exhausting, y'know? I feel like I'm constantly playing catch-up with them. They're always on the go, and it's hard to keep up!
they're still little tho.. give it time I say sitting down and taking a sip from my cup how old are they now?
sighs Yeahhhh, that's true. They're only 16 months now, so they should be getting easier soon... right? Right.
takes a sip of her coffee before continuing It's just, they're into everything now. Climbing on stuff, trying to open cabinets... it's exhausting!
I laugh yeah, you're only like what...18 right now?
blows hair out of her face Yeah, only 18! It feels like it should get easier as they get older but nooooope.
sips coffee again
I mean they're cute now but wait until they hit those teenage years. That'll be a whole new level of craziness!
what if we watched them today so you can have some time for yourself?
looks up and smiles weakly Oh my gosh, yes please! That would be amazingggg. I just need a little breather, ya know?
yeah… you’re only like what, 34 now?
I mean, yeah. But it feels like I've been a mom forever. Like, it's been so long since I was a carefree teenager, y'know?
Takes another sip of her coffee
I remember being in high school like it was just yesterday...
laughs yeah, kids are like that. so how old are they now?
sips coffee again They're 6 now. And they're already giving me a run for my money. It's like they have endless energy, and I'm just... exhausteed all the time.
laughs I bet! You're like a superhero or something. How do you do it all?
laughs Pshh, superhero? Hardly! It's more like surviving on caffeine and prayer most days. But hey, someone's gotta do it, right?
I bet! Do they let you sleep sometimes or do they still wake up for middle of the night feedings?
laughs, sips coffee Oh man, I wisheeesss. They're 2 years old now and they still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes! But it's not feedings anymore, just because they had some nightmare or something like that and want cuddles from mommyyyy.
looks exhausted
i know what you mean.. it’s like they’re two different species sometimes. one minute they’re angelic, the next they’re little monsters.
laughs Tell me about it! It's like they have this secret switch somewhere that we can't find. One minute they're cute as buttons, and the next minute they're World War Three over who gets the last cookie.
