Motherhood

I really want to get better at this blogging thing, but honestly, it feels impossible. Can someone tell me when the insanity of motherhood slows down? Three kids still feels very new, okay so it is new since Kody is only 3 months old (almost), but seriously I am going crazy trying to figure everything out. Just when I thought I was finding a rythymn, someone (Keira) has to go and get sick. She decided it would be a great idea to drink bath water out of one of her squirt toys, only to find that it's incased in mold. I know ewwwwe right? Anyway I've been meaning to throw them out, but of course it's landed on the bottom of my to do list, which means it never gets done. So that evening she gets a fever so of course the doctor is in order. Let me tell you lugging three children to the doctor is no picnic. She has Strep throat at least it's treatable. Ah yes, then we come to the next day Tanner suddenly has a fever and yes he gets strep throat too, as if I wasn't lacking sleep already. No worries though the doctor (who is wonderful) told me at Keira's appointment that if anyone gets a fever, call the office and he'll call the medication into the pharmacy. He has 5 children so he understands. Thank heavens I don't think I could take another doctor's visit. So again does the insanity of motherhood ever slow down? It all sounds so comical when I put it in writing, but in the moment I swear I'm gonna lose it. Oh and as a side note the gross bath toys have moved to the top of my list and are gone. Why can't I listen the first time when I have the impression? Oh well, live and learn right?

  1. I can only imagine what THREE kids is like. I'm finally sort of getting in a groove with TWO. I've heard it gets better. Let me know! As of now, I can't imagine having any more!

  2. Yes, I would have to agree that 3 kids is not always easy. I think the only thing that is giving me sanity right now is that Connor is gone for a majority of the day! It does help having one in school all day.

    As for the squirty bath toys...they gross me out too! I hate it when they squirt them and gross black crud comes out. They do seem to linger in the tub for some reason! You've inspired me to throw mine out!

    Hope everyone feels better soon!

  3. Lyenna! I wondered if you would ever start blogging. Three kids is tough at first, but it gets better.

  4. It gets better, I promise. You still stay busy and the kids still get sick all together but you are just more able to handle it.

  5. YAY Lyenna!,...you have a blog! I'm soooo excited! Kelsey mentioned to me that you would be putting one together. I'm so excited! I always love it when family gets a blog together. It's such a great way to keep in touch. I love ya and hope that motherhood is showing it's rewards a little more on the brighter side by now (almost a month later - time for a new post girl!) =0) You're the best!

  6. It helps when the kids get older. I had a hard time with three when Brigham was really little, but it's not so bad now.
    With Nathaniel at school all day, Jonathan in preschool 4 days a week, Nathaniel's Tae Kwon Do Tuesdays and Thursdays(right at dinner time, of course), Orchestra on Wednesdays for me, I'm starting to feel like a busy mom. The crazy thing is...I think I like it.

  7. P.S. Good Heavens, Girl! Bring your kids to my house if you have to, I'm only 5 minutes away. There is nothing worse than taking extra kids anywhere. There's a lot of places I don't go for that exact reason.
