welp, today was one of those days. it could've had something to do with the fact that i was up until 3 a.m. last night finishing my book ("daughter of the forest"...highly recommended) when i really really needed to sleep. it could've had something to do with the fact that my hormones are completely out of whack. it could've had something to do with the fact that carson grows increasingly independent (fine) and stubborn (not so fine) and sometimes, like today, downright belligerent (the exact opposite of fine). it could've had something to do with the fact that layla has become as wild as her hair and currently gets a disturbing amount of enjoyment from hitting people, many times if possible. it could've had something to do with the fact that addelyn seemed extremely uncomfortable (yesterday and today...which is why a better night's sleep than what i let myself get would've been a good idea) and therefore quite fussy.
anyway, it could've had something to do with the combination of all these things, but today was just one of those days where i wanted to curl up on the couch and sleep and pretend i didn't have three crazy kids who know me as Mom, Mommy, and Food-Source. i'm pretty sure i'm evil for admitting (and typing) that, but there it is.
the sun'll come out tomorrow though...right? right.

the truth is (ok, I'm totally commenting on a previous blog, but in the wrong spot-sorry), the TRUTH -'cause I have to admit it-is that I am amazingly and extremely jealous of the beautiousness of your perfect pictures and I want them for my own, only insert my kids. They are incredible pictures Brit! Love, love LOVE them! And your kids aren't half bad either :D
ps--(about the current post) my mom says motherhood is always two steps forward and one step back (go Suz). It's not very consoling on the forward days bc you know you have to have the "back" day. but sometimes it's nice to think on a hard day that you're due for 2 good ones now that you've had the bad one. ok...i'm rambling and i'm done now.
Love ya!
Most moms have been there. And if they haven't it is only because they are unwilling to admit it! Babies are beautiful and sweet and I loved mine dearly, BUT they are also very HARD.
And wasn't Daughter of the Forest so good. It was my favorite of her Sevenwaters series. I also really liked the Bridei Chronicles (even better than Sevenwaters series). Not that you need three more books to read.
If it makes you feel any better, I have had a lot more than "one" of those days.
