Beth, I swear I'm sending those clothes, they are in my kitchen waiting to be mailed. I'll try and do it on Saturday.
I've just been hanging out being a mom. Which, I've sort of gotten rid of some of my stress. I have a new mothering philosophy. I try not to do any house work during the day, and I've started putting the kids to bed an hour earlier, around 8 o'clock and then I do housework while I watch TV. I feel so much less stressed because I'm not trying to keep my house clean and feel like I'm spending quality time with my kids. So far it's working.
Cole is a giant baby. He was 5 months old on the 3rd, and I had him weighed last Wednesday...he came in a 19 lbs 14 oz. Almost 20 POUNDS!! Callie and Emily weighed that much when they were 2. And he's already in 12 month size clothes. Chance now calls him "Tank".
But we are surviving and doing pretty good. Oh, except we now have some people renting our old house down the street that I really don't care for. It's a guy who is currently working for Chance, and a Chance likes him for some reason. The guy needed a place to live because he recently got back together with his ex-wife. When he did this his father told him they couldn't live in his rental house anymore because they are crazy together. Did I mention he is working for Chance because he lost his last job and did jail time for stealing from his boss. Yeah, sounds like a winner, huh?
And I started watching a 3 week old baby on Monday. So far so good, he's so little he just sleeps all the time. I told him mom we'd do this in two week incriments, that way if I start to go insane and can't handle 2 babies under 6 months of age I can back out without her getting mad. Wish me luck.
