Wishing the year away

Do you find yourself wishing the day, month, or year away? I do. Quite often more than I'd like to admit. I wish it were the weekend. I wish this school year was over. I wish we weren't here at this Army post anymore.
Now think about when you look back how often you wish you could go back. Yea, guilty on that one too.
I wish I was back in school, living with my parents again, no bills, no kids, no worries (little did I know that those worries I had were DUMB) .
I wish I was back in my teens, or even late twenties. I may some STUPID choices. I'd redo them and correct myself , right? Probably not.

I have to make myself stop sometimes. Live in the HERE and NOW. I have 4 amazing kids, an AWESOME Husband who works everyday so I don't have to. I get to stay home with the girls and enjoy seeing all the baby milestones. Me and my husband have some amazing family that help out when needed and are always there for us. We have found an awesome church and are striving each day to become better parents and better Christians, to grow in our relationship with God.

The future, its coming.. so enjoy TODAY:)
 There will be hard times.
Obstacles in your way. Go around them.
People will be rude mean and get in the way. Go around them!
Time will pass quickly . Make sure what your doing is worth while ...worth your time.
Because you can't get yesterday back. Make sure today is going to worth the time when you look back tomorrow.
Give it all to God and pray :)
God Bless.

Roadblocks will happen. Deal with them.

Some people will get in the way. Go around them.

Time will pass quickly. Carve out the time to do the worthwhile things.

You will grow old. Keep doing.

There will be distractions. Stay focused.

3rd baby go round

With the first baby its NO don't eat that dirt , don't use that paci when its hit the floor...
By the 3rd baby you're all, here .... eat this. Yes it hit the floor.. more germs equals a better immune system.
When I got pregnant, I was terrified. I already had two under 5 years.. how was I going to hold their hands AND hold this baby. How was I going to go anywhere without one running off. But somehow.. we manage. Mostly due to the fact that if I go anywhere ....either I wear the baby in my mei tai carrier OR I have my husband and/or my 12 year old stepson there to help corral.

I used to rush in as soon as the baby started crying to try to get her back to sleep, but now I wait to make sure she is really awake or just trying to pass some gas before I pick her up.

I am not one of those parents whose children never act out in public and always use good manners,
Nope. My kids sometimes run around the grocery store like banshees. They throw little preschooler tantrums. And they even (gasp) argue about bedtime.
All in all, I’d say we’re pretty normal.
Kids act up.. its normal.  We DO get compliments on how well behaved our kids are sometimes.
We stay home more than I'd like to, but we haven't quite mastered the taking all the kids out in public thing yet.
People ... really bug me sometimes...
"You DO know how that happens, right?"
I wanna scream back "NO you wanna tell me? Explain this process PLEASE!"

I find the best way to get through the day is humor ( and LOTS OF PRAYER).
  If YOU need some humor :) Just read!

With the first baby: At the first sign of distress — a whimper, a frown — you pick up
the baby.
With the second baby: You pick the baby up when their wails threaten to wake your
firstborn.
Third baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical
swing...or in my case how to feed the 8 month old a cracker.

At Home:
First baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
Second baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older
child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
Third baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.


If your kids are giving you a headache, follow the directions on the aspirin bottle, especially the part that says "keep away from children."

Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.

Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
