Hectic

By -
Life with a newborn is always hectic. Life with 3 other children is always hectic. Life with a husband that tears up the front yard to put in sprinklers is always hectic. Life is just hectic, right?

Well on top of my life this past weekend my sister got married. My parents were in town. We had a TON of work to do to make things perfect for her. I hardly got any sleep at night and naps were only for the babies.

BUT now that it is all over, I can say that I made it. One thing that helped me get through each hectic day was chocolate. I definitely enjoy anything chocolate. When I was taking a much needed 5 minute break one day, I ate a piece of Dove chocolate (o.k. probably more than one piece). On the wrappers of Dove chocolates are "Promise"messages. My message that day was....

Isn't that a great promise? Now if only my hectic life would allow it to happen.

The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
