The other night, I put all the kids to bed and I was cleaning up the kitchen. My little Ashlyn came out about 20 minutes later and said "Mom, I can't stop talking in my head". It was so cute. She was very excited about the next day because she was spending the day with a friend and she was so excited, she could not stop "talking in her head". The next morning when all the kids got up I heard her tell Hailee and Paige "Guess what, I was talking in my head last night". It was so cute. If I could stop talking in my head in bed, I'm sure I'd be a lot happier in the morning. I'm sure not a morning person, but I am working on that. Cooking makes me happy and so I thought that I would get up and start making (cooking) breakfast. I've started making eggs, pancakes, french toast, waffles, crepes and etc. in morning instead of the usual cereal, toast, oatmeal. It works great for everyone. I'm happier and my kids love the cooked meals. Today I had a little bit of a breakdown. My kids, for some unknown reason, argue over everything! (If anyone has any tips, let me know. Actually I've read the book super nanny and she gives great tips. Everyone should read her book) This morning, they started again and I just lost it. I sent all of them to their rooms until we were ready for church. Then Brad and I started to argue and I lost it even more. I ended up driving by myself to church and letting Brad deal with the kids. I sat there in church and didn't say a word. I'm sure everyone was saying "that lady needs to control her kids". Brad finally rubbed my back and said sorry and then everything started to get better. That's one thing I wish I could do is say sorry first. I can be a pretty big baby sometimes and Brad is great to put up with it. As I was sitting in church, I realized how lucky I am to have my kids and that I get to see them every day and that time goes fast and to cherish the moments we have and to not let little things get to me. And I'm so blessed to have a husband that says sorry first:)

I am so the "BABY" too. I always want Tracey to "come and get me" and see what is wrong. I sure can pout a lot! You would think these guys would get it by now~~ :)
So glad to see your blog! I will tune in often~
I can relate in several ways! I got a good laugh out of this. I am loving your new set up! How did you do your header??
I too can relate, you're a great mother. Remember all kids argue!
Karri - I thought this was so funny, I can totally relate. Your new set up & header is so cute. How did you do it?
Karri, you're the ideal mother! Three are plenty of times I "lose it", but after I take some time to myself I too reflect back on my boys and how much I love them and couldn't live without them! You are lucky to have a husband that appologizes first, my husband and I will go for hours before one of us finally gives in (usually me), but it's deffinitely a treat when he says it first:) Thanks for sharing your blog with me!
