Alright! I admit it! Life has caught up with me and I am behind on my blogging! There, I said it out loud **whew**. Feelin better already!
I still say for me adding this 3rd kid really hasn't been all that changing, and it hasn't. Other than I have learned to trip Damon with my foot when he runs off and I am out of hands. Just so I can catch up to him! And that it takes me now 2 hours to get myself and all 3 kids ready to go anywhere- give me some credit, that's 3 hair do's 2 full mouths of teeth to brush, 3 outfits, 1 pull up and 1 in diapers :) Packing a diaper bag to keep the ornery toddler busy during a 2 hour grocery trip. and so on. I've leanred that the 3rd tie around things are so much more relaxing and easier that I enjoy the baby time so much more, and believe me I did before. But now it's almost like I realize all the little things I didn't sit back and enjoy while I could have with the other two.
I've been busy working with Cherry on schooling. I am pretty darn proud that my not even 5 yr old can say, write and give the sound for every letter in the alphabet. She can spell and write all of our names. Hopefully I will have her in preschool this year!
Damon and I have been on a war path with the potty training :) actyally, for a boy I think he is doing quite well. We only have issues with the pooping :) I am just determined he will have it down by the end of summer. He is busy all the time counting and drawing and building train tracks.
Lillie is approaching 6 months! I know, how on earth did that happen!?!?
She is just so stinkin fun I can't get enough of her and if I could I would already be tryin to get the next one here. But luckily for Jsmes I can't ;P
On top of these 3 I have been doing a little photography, I wish it was more. Someday I will put the money and time into all out advertising. And then thtere's my teaching. Yep, I started back up teaching voice and piano. It really is fun and I love it. I have an even mix this time around between adults and kids. It is time consuming and it definitely has not been easy with the 3 munchkins. Especially Damon who has A VERY hard time letting mommy teach other kids. So he is a work in progress but slowly getting better.
And I have become obssesed with exercising. 2x a day! I am so bitter when I don't get both workouts in. It's still a fight to lose the lbs but the inches are difinitely melting away- FINALLY!
Admissions:
*My kids are lucky to get bathed every other day (we live in an apartment, they don't get out and dirty much)
*Somedays it is so late by the time I get around to showering that I just don't even bother
*There are days, that I do nothing but take care of kids, feeding, changing etc and I play on the computer (editing pictures of course!)
*I am a little too obsessed with keeping my house clean and organized. I'm sorry but my kids toys have to put away a certain way and in certain boxes. ;)
*I will put all 3 kids in front of the tv in my room just so I can get my exercise in for the day.
*I will let them stay up till 10 or later at night just because I know they will sleep in longer and I am still nursing every 2 hours during the night (thanks to Lillie's under developed digestive system)
*I don't correct my kids English as often as I probably should because I think it is so friggin cute!
* There are night where we have cereal for dinner
*Every once in a while bedtime rolls around and I realize my kids are STILL in their jammies
*When we go out, we all have to be done up, dressed, hair done teeth brushed (I admit, I refuse to be one of those moms who looks like they can't handle the amount of kids they have. Going places looking like they haven't been cared for in days. I am obsessed with making sure that DOES NOT happen. Everytime we get pregnant I make a vow to myself to NOT be that way. )
Well, so there you have it. If you actually read all that I give you props. It was more of a ranting huh? LOL
My life is insanely busy and I LOVE it! I am for the most part, pretty dang put together but I am publicly admitting those things I let slip- now and then :) It always makes for a good luagh and frankly, blogs are more interesting when reality is in :)
Have a gorgeous day!
