this phase...

The phase of life we're in is...interesting.

I have nothing profound to say. No secrets of how to handle 4 at once. I love our chaos. I do. I love it all. I laughed today when Bryan got home from work because I was holding a screaming baby, with my hair falling out of my pony tail, no shower, and I couldn't even remember if I'd brushed my teeth (I know, totally disgusting). I was just proud of myself for remembering to pull meat out of the freezer for dinner! It's the phase of life we're in.

I woke up this morning and hit the ground running. Raelynn is teething and has been crazy temperamental. I mean, the girl throws herself on the floor with kicking and screaming at the word "no" or "just a minute". Holy hannah. Do not get on this girl's bad side. She will scratch your eye balls out...Seriously. She tries to scratch and bite when you don't do what she wants at the exact second she wants it. Terrible two's a bit early, I believe.

Simon woke up totally soaked. I was thinking it was his diapers, but he has woken up soaked multiple times lately. It finally dawned on me that he's a little boy - gotta point that little thing down when you put the diaper on. How did I forget that? Dare I reveal that it took 3 outfits and bedding changes TODAY for me to remember that little trick?

Bryan left a half cup of coffee on the dining table. Raelynn loves coffee. She just jumped up on the chair and started "yumming" it up. Yup, my baby girl was drinking coffee. I usually would take it away right away, but I was feeding Simon and thought, "Whatev. It won't kill her". The next thing I know, she had hopped up on the table, made herself comfortable, dumped the coffee into a water cup, and then accidentally kicked the cup. She was soaked, the table was soaked, and the floor was soaked. Oops.

I've been trying so hard to get out of the house more than once a week. It's difficult because Simon likes to sleep in his bed, so he's pretty much unhappy anytime I take him out. When Elias was like that, it totally stressed me out, and I wouldn't go ANYWHERE. I always stayed in because I figured it was easier than trying to quiet him everywhere we went. Now? Well, I just pass Simon off to whoever is around, and I don't let the fussing stress me out.

Oh this phase of life is CrAZy, I tell ya, pure CraZY.
