Busy with 3 girls and loving it!!

I've learned that some days being a parent is a STRUGGLE! You may ask why?
Let me explain.
Last night I was challenged as a mom. My day at work was near over the edge and didn't allow for me to leave until close to 6:00. When I finally made it to my kids close to 7:00 the littlest monster was in the middle of a total melt-down. She has mastered the art of screaming and can some how combined her crying and screaming together to make an AWFUL sound.

The oldest monster was knee deep in homework (which could be a whole other post), anywho, 25 vocabulary words and studying for a math test, which was somewhat challenging for me.
Was she ever right that they treat you like "grown-ups" in 4th grade and expect much more out of you....and to think we are only in the 4th week.....please Lord give me patience!

The Middle one....let me remind you of her....the 2 year old! Was being just this.....ALL 2!
Monster #2 was not about to eat supper. Because when we go to Grandma and PaPa's house she eats, Snacks! Rasins, cookies, etc.
So after "several" trips to the bedroom she finally decided to join us for dinner!
And then shortly after....rebeling or not....decided to potty in her big girl undies...ugh.
Have I mentioned she is 2!!!!
The whole way home from Grandma and PaPa's I silently prayed that my lovely children would go to bed peacefully and without a struggle....as this mom was starting to "LOSE IT"!
Low and behold, that silent prayer was answered..........THANK GOD!
Camrie.....hit the pillow almost asleep.
Kohyn......snuggled in her bed and didn't get up once.
Kooper.....feel asleep in the car seat on the way home and didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning.
At one point last night....my mother-in-law jokingly said, "busy with 3 girls and loving it"......I do, I really do....and some nights more then others!
I love you little girls, with ALL of my heart!!!!

  1. Isn't it all worth it? There are some days you're about to scream and ask why... But then you just look at your beautiful children and smile, and yes, all of the moments that are so hard, are so worth it. I wouldn't change anything... I LOVE being a mom.
