Happy, Sad, Loving, Annoyed, Fun, Frustrated!?!?!

It is amazing how many emotions I go through in a day. This morning I woke up happy, I was ahead of schedule with getting everyone ready to run out the door to preschool. Suddenly, I was sad when I read the calender for my kids school to find out my oldest needs his library books and Thomas the Turkey?!? Thomas the Turkey, oh my word, I totally forgot and that makes me the worst mom. Thomas was this little cut out Turkey that all the kids in the class had to take home and put in a disguise and it was due today. We are supposed to leave in 10 minutes and I say to my oldest, "What in the world should we dress Thomas the Turkey as?" with that he says fireman and he glued and cut and we assembled together. Wow, made it in the car only a couple minutes behind schedule. They gave me big kisses goodbye and I thought, " Oh, I love these kids so much". Before I knew it, it was time to pick them up and once they were all in the car and I just got so annoyed. Trey was teasing his sister, Evan was crying because he dropped his school bag, Taylor started to scream because of Trey's teasing. I yelled, and just lost it. I'm sure I could have handled it better but I will make a mental note to try not to freak out again. Once we were home they played and everyone started to calm down but I hate that I can get so frustrated. I will try better tomorrow. We shall see.

I't official, I'm grumpy!

Well, so exciting I had a baby girl named Taylor Christine Saturday, November 24th. After having 2 boys (Trey 3, and Evan 2) it is really fun to have a little girl. First week went really well, adrenaline kicking and the excitiment of our new family helped. Now we are just starting week 3 and exaustion has hit the excitment of baby sister is leaving and we are all a bit stir crazy! (It's not worth the energy to leave the house with three kids under 3) All that leaves me super grumpy!! I realize that I have no patience when I'm tired so I started drinking coffee. I hate coffee, I put chocolate syrup and fancy creamer with a splash of coffee to try and choke it down and it works. It gives me energy but I think it also reaks havoc on my stomach because I kind of feel sick. I'm not sure what is worse sick or tired, for now I'll take sick! I know this is temporary but it's crazy how quickly you forget how hard these first weeks are. Wish me (and especially my family) luck!
