Have I mentioned how much I treasure my girls?

I worked today. 8am to 7pm. I tell you, that is a long day. At the end of every Tuesday shift I am so grateful that I don't work on Wednesday. I feel like I've said that before. I would never quit my job. But there are days that I think I could stay at home all the time. Ha, I just laughed at myself because really, Abby, complaining about working two days a week? Get a grip.
But when I know one day a week they are not getting their nap and someone is feeding them cookies and koolaid all day, my controlling nature gets the best of me. The other day I work, they are getting good naps and good food at their other babysitter, but it's still not the same. I have to wake the girls up too early. I have to leave the house too early. I have to get myself up too early.
The upside is that I don't do it for free and I do love my job. And I get to be a grownup. Although the running joke at my clinic is that every day I work I've said the word "barf" at least once.
So anyway. The point of my post is that the kids are cracking me up. Hannah now requests being tackled. She wants us to run and tackle her. Not tickle. Tackle. That's my girl. Olivia crawls like a maniac (finally) but the difference is that now, unlike Hannah, she crawls after me, reaching for the hems of my pants. I feel tiny, chubby fingers brushing my ankles and I look down and little Liv is sitting at my feet. Seriously, it's so adorable.
Hannah tells me she misses me all the time. When I leave a room, when I go to the bathroom, all the time. She knows she gets a laugh and a hug every time, so it must be worth it.
Olivia loves the dogs. She cracks up laughing at them and Liv has a belly laugh. Man, have I said she's adorable?
So I'm feeling the need for more video and more pictures and more hugs and kisses and rocking and snuggling and laughing and tickling (and tackling). Sigh.
Also, much like most people I am hearing about...no New Year's resolutions in this house. Except maybe get more pictures, videos, hugs, kisses, rocks, etc (you get the picture).
Tired.
