I love that you can see E standing inside the door.

I {HEART} NY







On our drive up to NY we were rear-ended by a semi truck. It was super scary but we are so thankful everyone was okay. We had a really great time. I can't wait to go back with out the kids.

School is around the corner!!! I should be soo excited right? Well, I am not! I am not looking forward to this upcoming school year at all! The kids schedules last year were not the best but way better than this year. J & B got up early and then I had about an hour before I had to get the other two up. It was nice to have a little time to close my eyes for a minute, or get dressed, or finish the dishes etc.. This year it is all wacky. J has to be on the bus before 7 am. Then AJ gets on just before 8, then B & K get on around 8:30 and then 3 days a week I have to have JC to preschool by 9 am. I then pick up JC at 11:30 get her and E lunch, put E down for a nap, J will then get home at 2 and then they all trickle in... Then it will be homework time, squeezed in with the never ending "Can I play?" question, dinner, and bed. Doesn't sound like it will be crazy but trust me it will. As it is B is already flipping out that her bus is so late coming home and that she won't have any time to play. (at least the girl has priorities LOL)

Okay I know I sound pessimistic, but I am so overwhelmed. What was I thinking having more kids than I have hands? How am I going to keep everything straight? I will probably send the wrong kid on the wrong bus or something. And I know I gave up "me" when I decided to have a family, but I have already let "me" go so much and I was really looking forward to this year and working on making "me" better, healthier in all the ways spiritually, physically, and mentally. Now I just feel like it will once again have to wait. I know the cup is looking half empty right now but I am just overwhelmed and frustrated. So I will just keep going and doing the best I can. I feel like I am failing in all the important things. I am trying to keep my head above the water. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me. Anyways, done venting.

This little girl is pretty yummy, too. (especially when she is sleeping)
