For instance, I used to really enjoy making dinner and having it ready for Laura when she came in the door. It felt like a fun dance that I was making up as I went along. Now it feels like falling down stairs while juggling bobcats that you're trying to pose in Anne Geddes-esque photos. At the end of it is often a poorly done tepid meal with horrible presentation. That coupled with Alice crying and saying it's the worst food in the world and she'll never eat it EVER AGAIN (eats 3 plates) and Isaac enthusiastically asking for more because he's so hungry (throws it all on the floor, pours full cup of milk down shirt), sometimes I get a bit discouraged.
Other things like commuting can be the highlight of my day. Just today I got to walk Alice to her bus stop and we played until her bus came. I rode from downtown with Isaac while we pointed out every dog, bike, truck, river (ra-raa) and dog. Did I mention dog? Yes, dog. I used to enjoy my bike rides before, but these rides make my day.
There are tons of things like that. Everything is topsy turvy.
