Finally...time to blog

I have come to the conclusion that people who have their kids really close together might have the right idea. They might be in diapers at the same time but you'll also get them out of diapers around the same time too. I'm jealous of those people at this point in time. Our house some how manages to contain a 6 year old, a 2 1/2 year old and a newborn. I swear, those are the worst ages to have in the same house at the same time. Haley has discovered a love for talking back and not listening. Laura is full throttle in the "terrible twos" and has no issue letting know how she feels about everything. And Miranda....well, lets just say that I havent had a hot meal in the last 3 days. But, seeing as how its not my first time at the "newborn rodeo", I totally knew that was going to happen. Hubby, though, doesnt find it as amusing when she starts to cry right as he has just finished fixing his lunch.

Speaking of the hubby, he has been AWESOME!!!!! On the weekends, he'll get up with the kids and let me sleep in. During the week, he takes Miranda til about midnight so I can get a decent chunk of sleep. He never complains (out loud, at least) when I say I need a nap or if I ask him (for the um-teenth night in a row) if he can handle bath time. Granted, we've butted heads a few times but we're both perpetually tired at this point it time. Honestly, I'm surprised it hasnt happened more often. So, I figure we're doing pretty good at this point. We still find time to talk, just the 2 of us. Granted, its nomally about 830pm when that happens and I'm half asleep sometimes, but it happens.

In conclusion, I've decided that as long as I have the energy to climb the stairs and fall into bed at night, it was a good day. If I start falling asleep on the couch, then I'll worry.

All in one stop

As much as I love Facebook, I cant stand that there is no place to post blogs there. So, here we are. Between both sides of the family, trying to keep everyone updated is just impossible. Thats where the blog comes in. My goal is to make as many things as possible easier on me now that Miranda has shown up and (as of tomorrow) I'll be home with 3 kids (until Haley is back in school) while hubby gets to go to work and play with guns. Maybe one day I can talk him into switching jobs for a week.........
