So I have been counting down the days until I get to go to my home sweet home. I AM NEVER GOING ON A MONTH VACATION WITHOUT JAY EVER AGAIN!!! WHAT WAS I THINKIN’? I really don’t know how I thought I would be fine without seeing him that long.
The flight was horrible, terrible and ugly with me wanting to break down every hour. Adalie was fairly really good, Ariana was fussy and crying and didn’t sleep for 11 hrs. straight, they messed up my ticket so it took 3 hrs. to check in, I didn’t get my seat with the bassinet for Ariana, this man sitting next to me scolded me for having Adalie sit next to him with a sucker because the sucker accidentally touched his shirt and yes I’m a baby so I cried, I had to check in at every lay over for my ticket and stand there the whole time until we boarded, the whole flight/driving/lay over took a little over 25 hrs. and with not even a 10 minute snooze and only one break down, we arrived safely and sound in Korea!!! 😀
My mom’s back has been really bad so she can’t do much so I’ve been helping her instead plus watching two babies under 2 literally 24/7 and WOW. It has been so overwhelmingly hard. Ariana has colic, Adalie has been sick with a fever, I got Mastitis(only for 2 days thank goodness) and Thrush again at the same time, Ariana goes for 12 hrs. without sleep and then crashes. This will be such a good experience for me because the first month of giving birth to Ariana my mom came everyday and cooked me lunch, dinner, watched the kids, and when she stopped coming and I was all alone for 8 hrs. while Jay was at work I thought it was so hard but since being here, Jay’s not here to help me watch them and it’s me all alone 24/7, 7 days a week with no break whatsoever. So when I go home, I’ll think it’s a piece of cake compared to now!
A few days ago I was having a pity party with me, myself and I and was thinking how much this sucked and how I was so bored and tired of all this and overwhelmed but for the sake of myself, my kids and everybody around me, I decided to change my attitude and think that instead of coming here for myself, I came here to take care of mom and for my brother’s wedding. Then things seemed to be better. 🙂
And thinking that I’ll get to see Jay in 12 days always brightens me up. Who counts down to go home when they’re on their summer vacation? Apparently me.
