Keepin' It REAL

---Jet lag is REALLY hard. Just sayin. We were up ALL night with Gabbey, and poor Eliana didn't sleep well either.

---Mommy is not a very good Mommy when she is severely sleep-deprived. In case you were wondering. I allowed two hours (yes, HOURS) of videos this morning so I could try to sleep a little. Bad, bad, Mommy.

---Five children all needing Mommy at the same time is hard. I want to love on ALL of them!

---I could really use a cook and a maid about right now. And some sleep. But not in that order. Definitely need the sleep the most!

---Our newest blessing is just that. A blessing. And positively adorable. And SO petite. She weighed 15 lbs 8 oz at her checkup on Monday.

---Oddly enough, I can't wait to start back to school and our routine. Call me crazy, but I miss our school days!

---Dishes don't wash themselves, babies don't change themselves, and laundry piles up whether you want it to or not. Really. Isn't that a shame?

---Life will get better. I keep telling myself this, because I KNOW it's true. I just need enough sleep to believe myself. SOON!

  1. I love sleep too! I would volunteer to help wherever you needed but my son and I were up puking all night so I'm basically worthless right now... not to mention contagious.

    Hope your days even out soon.

  3. So glad you are home safe. I remember jet lag, it is so hard for the first few days. Just relax and enjoy your kids, the rest will get done eventually. Merry Christmas, Cara Norby
