Mom on the run…

Remove the dog, cat, and the grouchy look on her face and this could very well be me (and hundreds of other mommies I am sure).

Monday will be four weeks since baby was born and it has nothing short of chaos I’ll be it sweet and beautiful chaos I wouldn’t trade for the world.

The simple act of loading the kids in the car has to be orchestrated carefully.  Can’t have the two year old running in the street while I am loading the baby in the car.  My solution, when the teen and tween are at school, is to ask her to help me hold the baby’s car seat.  She loves this and feels like Momma’s little helper.

The next thing that has been a challenge, is getting any work done in the house.  Between trips to and from school I am breastfeeding and breastfeeding some more.  I know shortly, the span of time between feedings will increase, but in the mean time I run a muck between feedings and trips.

Don’t worry during feedings I find a calm relaxing place and look into my babies

How do you all manage your time?

Random Tuesday Thoughts – Is this what its all about?

Growing up the word “college” was never a discussion in my home.  I remember once telling my Mom I wanted to fly jets and be a photographer when I grew up.  My Mom’s reply was “girls don’t fly jets” boy was I silly to listen to her!

But of all the things I wanted to be, the one thing that I KNEW I wanted to be the most was a Mommy.  A mommy with lots of kids and a loving husband.  I am SO grateful, because I do have those things.

Although lately I feel my life is at odds with itself.  Seems like all I do is discipline the kids, mounds and mounds of laundry, clean house and pay bills!

In my minds eye, I didn’t see myself cleaning constantly or grouching around all the time.  I feel worse than Oscar the Grouch, I make him look like a cute fuzzy kitten.  In my minds eye I saw myself being with my kids doing fun things, cooking and cuddling.

This can’t be all there is to life.  I need to find myself, I need to quit flying by the seat of my pants.  I need to manage my time maybe than I won’t be so coo coo!

Pretty soon I will be starting school full time, my husband will be taking a couple of classes as well.  Add that to my home/family duties and weight loss goals…

The doo doo will hit the fan…
