Well, what can I say...My secret is out...This is how I get my errands done in peace everyday ~ I tape their mouths shut! No, seriously...They actually put these on their own mouths by themselcves and before they did, they said, "Mommy, we're gonna put these on & you take our picture!" They crack me up!***************************************************************Last night I went to visit my friend who just had her first child a little over a week ago and brought her a meal to help out...Little baby Olivia weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz. It was so weird to hold a tiny newborn baby after holding Jake all the time - Besides, Jake came out over 10 pounds so he was never that tiny...It was also nice to visit "babyland" or "the quiet zone" as I affectionately refer to anyone's home that only has one tiny newborn baby in it - It's a wonderful peaceful land to visit once in a while to give me some perspective on the "crazy house" that I affectionately call my home with the 3 children and 2 dogs that reside here! It's just a different level of chaos and everyone's chaos is relative.
To someone who was just a regular married couple living their lives, going to work, going out with friends, & getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis and then adding a brand new baby in there - That can turn a world upside-down! But to someone who has a few children already and has been through many different things with those children (like having one of them fall on their head out of the minivan & have to get a staple put in; respiratory illnesses requiring nebulizer treatments and staying up all night with them and a 105 fever; having your baby wear a helmet; etc.) - The new baby zone is a quiet haven compared to the level of chaos experienced here on a daily basis!
Well, whatever your level of chaos, I hope you are having a good day and remember to take time to enjoy this beautiful weather because in about 4 short months - We'll all be complaining about how cold we are! :)
