Oh no! It is just about to start! UGH! Although I do enjoy basketball, I do not enjoy being home all day with 3 children (one of which is very tiny) and then have my husband be gone all night to a KU basketball game. It has been a LONG day and I need a break. So, I put Brittany to bed, Jared is watching his 11th hour of TV and Mason is sleeping (until I want to go to bed.) I have not showered today and I'm wearing some amazing bright, green fat pants with a grey KU t-shirt. The excitement of my day was I loaded the kids in the van and we drove to McDonald's and went through the drive thru and came back home. Fun isn't it? I know you are all jealous of my life. I can't blame you. It is really hard for me during this adjustment period. I'm the kind of person that likes to always be doing something or going somewhere and right now I can't do that. I'm just trying to figure out how to get through the day with everyone semi-happy and perhaps take a shower. I know that in a few weeks I will be a pro, but right now I'm feeling a bit hopeless. The cloudy, rainy weather is not helping my mood any.
On the flip side, I have a lot to be thankful for. Heck, when I watch the news it makes me think, "I'm glad Keith has a job." Then I keep watching the news and I think, "I'm so glad I live in the United States." There are moments when I'm glad I'm cooped up in my house because the world is a pretty scary place these days. I realize that someday I will look back on these days and wish I was back here. I do wish my children would never grow older. I know that there will be a day when I will have absolutely no control over what they do and that is scarier than anything. So, for now I will be happy to spend my days watching "Dora the Explorer" and playing "Go Fish" with Jared as many times as I am willing to play.
Well it's 9:00 (hooray!) time to put Jared to bed and then maybe I'll watch some of my shows (love that DVR!)

hang in there girl. there is a light at the end of the tunnel, even though it looks like the size of a star. we'll do your hair tomorrow and you will feel better!!!
I felt exactly the same with just one kid...so I can't even imagine what your life would be like. You're my new role model :)
But I am still jealous, it sounds like you're still getting to sleep at night. Tanner is 4 months old and still waking up at least 3 times a night. On a good night, he might do 6 hrs in a row, but those are far and few inbetween. I need a sleep therapist for him or something!
You are doing GREAT! Things will get easier as you get feeling better and get use to your new role as a mother of 3!! I am SO PROUD of you and admire you! You are an AWESOME mother to your children and they are so lucky to have you. I am SO THANKFUL I was able to be there for Mason's birth and spend time with my ADORABLE grand kids. I am SO BLESSED to have you as my daughter and my friend. You keep your chin up, keep smiling and remember always how much you are loved! HUGS, Mom
I am Jealous! You got to leave the house, even if it was McD's! I have to have an extra pair of hands to do that safely!
You know it'll get better. I remember when you were afraid of leaving the house with both Jared and Brittany...You've already crossed that hurdle with all three...you're almost there!
