It's hard to find the energy to write the way that I used to because every single minute I have now is used to do something or finding a moment to lie down for a second. Being a mother is incredibly rewarding especially when I get one of my angel's little smile, but it is also incredibly exhausting. Especially now that baby K always just want to be in his mama's arms. Try making coffee and grabbing a bite to eat when there is a crying baby around because you are trying to get him to self soothe. Not easy! It's amazing though because no matter how crazy he is making me, every time I take a look at his adorable chubby cheeks, I instantly melt. He has me wrapped around his tiny finger! Motherhood definitely requires patience. I have never been more patient in my entire life. Which leads me onto the title of this blog.

Being around baby K has made me have more patience which is a good thing because if I didn't have any I would be fighting with my family and others every single day. I cannot count the many times I get this question, "So the father hasn't called?" "No people, but I promise you the second that he does, I will let you know so you can quit asking me this question!" I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself regarding baby K's father. We are both adults, I chose to keep baby K therefore, he is mine and mine to worry about. Baby K's father, (actually I like to just call him the man who contributed to half of baby K's genes) is a full grown man who has my contact information. If he truly wanted to be involved in baby K's life, then he would. It's his choice to stay away. In the meantime, I don't have time to think about it and rarely do until someone has to ask me this same question again and again. If I really wanted him around, believe me I'm not shy, I would contact him. So I wish some people would just let it go. Okay enough ranting about that. :)

It's been so incredibly busy at work right now, it's nice being a full time worker again even though I do miss my baby very much. It feels good to be needed and useful. I'm also starting to learn new things which has gotten me to really consider going back to school and getting another degree. My boss is totally encouraging it and has even given some advice. So that is another thing I'm looking into right now. My co-worker is like, "Are you crazy, aren't you busy enough?" I was going to wait until baby K is a bit older but my boss said now would be better and I think he's right. The sooner I do this, the sooner I can be done. My family will also help which I am so grateful for. Hopefully I can start taking classes by summer time or fall next year!
