I'm still here, don't forget about me!

My family and friends!  I have missed everyone so much.  I can't believe that I have had such a hard time blogging, I really didn't anticipate this.  I thought, Okay during pregnancy it's understandable.  But when the baby comes how can you help but blog about your sweet little baby!  I thought, oh now I know how to use my camera and I'll have a baby to practice on!!  But seriously, this transition to 3 kids has been SO HARD!!!!  I keep expecting to wake up and feel like I can handle things, and then I don't.  I have so many amazing friends who have managed 3 or more kids and still do all the little things you are supposed to do (including blogging so everyone can keep informed).  Well, I have an even higher level of respect for you all now.  I think most days it is all about survival for me.  My kids eat, wear clean clothes, get to school and are picked up on time, and go to bed somewhere close to a decent time.  That's all I can manage.  No promises anywhere else.  I feel like a mess most of the time.  I'm tired all of the time.  I can't figure out how to fit in things like grocery shopping into my day.  And how am I supposed to lose all this stinkin' baby weight feeling this way?  This is probably way too much information for a lot of you.  I'm sorry.  I do know this isn't going to last forever.  It's just a season of my life.  Just a blip in the grand scheme of things.  I know . . . .

I'd like the blip to be done.

On the bright side.  My little Sophie is the sweetest baby that there ever was.  I love having her in our family and as hard as this has been for me, I wouldn't wish it different if that meant we wouldn't have her!  What a little blessing from Heaven she is to us.  We all just adore her.  Ian and Clara have been wonderful.  They help me and play together so that I can take care of the baby.  My husband has been nothing but supportive of me, as difficult as I must make his life lately (because I just can't seem to handle everything that I should).  My family loves and supports me.

So, I know that even though this is difficult and you better believe I'll be happy the day I wake up (probably after a full night sleep) and feel like a normal person, I'm extremely well blessed.

Thank you for indulging me in this mini-rant.  I hope every has a great week! :)
