Life with THREE is just that... life with three. Three mouths to feed, three to get dressed and bathed, three to put to bed, three bums to wipe --need I go on? All moms know how to care for their child, but when you multiply it by three it throws in a little juggling and prioritizing. It always seems like one of them is always having to wait a little bit longer than they want and then we have full on meltdowns. And who has time for yourself??? I haven't washed my hair in four days and today is no different, no time this morning... we had to make it to preschool and then to the doctor for a check up for Cru so no time for mommy. I DID manage to shower (with Cru) and brush my teeth though!
Meltdowns...take today for instance-- I'm trying to get lunch made for the boys before Macey remembers that it's past her feeding time and I'm asking Cru if he wants milk or juice. He freaks out for some reason (probably a combo of shots today and exhausion) and decides that a tantrum is the answer. His wailing wakes up Macey and she realizes that's she's starving too and starts wailing too. Meanwhile Treyson decides to join in the act and cry too because his funny noise balloon just broke and he can't live another minute without going back to Teacher Marnie's house to get another one. Are you kidding me? What else can I do but laugh.
We survived lunch (or should I say four lunches... pb&j for Cru, turkey and cheese for Trey, mommy milk for Macey, and to be announced for mommy--is there really time for me to eat?!). And right now I should be taking full advantage of free time (minus the fact that there is a ring in my toilet, mile high laundry, clean dishes in dishwasher, dirty ones in sink, etc. etc. etc.), but I decided I'd vent and let you all know my daily trials... It gets easier, it HAS to, right?
Until next time.
