to both of you. It is hard especially now that we go 3-5 directions a lot of days. Someone has something every day M-F and that’s not counting two people w jobs who often work weekends.

Dh and I are constantly refocusing and working to figure how to connect. It gets harder the older they get due to time and schedules and busyness. Not to mention the sheer exhaustion of life. I’m feeling my 12yo is really getting the short end of the stick lately and spends more time w our neighbor than shedoes with us. I’m working to just enjoy the moments we do have and not force her to stay home.
