1. babies, my goodness I sure do have a lot of them. 5 little boys. I feel like my life is one HUGE revolving door. I truly do the same thing day after day after day. Do I love it - Yes!!! would I change it if I could not the children part, but the mundane yes, what would I change, you ask, I'm not really sure I guess the ability to get away for 5 minutes, take a bubble bath in peace, not having to bring the baby monitor in the bathroom with me, not having to look at it wondering when is the next time I'm going to have to nurse my twins----
2. nursing--I'M OVER IT. I know it's the best thing I can give my children, but I have nursed 5 children in 4 years. Am I being selfish that I want my body back and Kyle and Jack are 4 month old??????? I love nursing BUT come on.....
3. diapers, ok so the other day I had a bridal shower at my house for my cousin, my Aunt came over early to help me get the lunch prepared, and I heard her laughing from my mud room, I went over to see what was so funny and she was laughing about my garbage can-all you could see was dirty diapers. I didn't realize how many diapers I change a day-but from what you could see I counted about 15 diapers-Time to potty train Steven and Luke???
4. Potty training, Ok so I tried it on Tuesday, I gave Steven and Luke 2 wrapped presents UNDER PANTS!!! Thinking they would be as excited as I was, well they weren't. It took Luke about 3 hours to even put the under pants on. It was hilarious. Then between trying to take them to the potty, I have Kyle and Jack to nurse, and breakfast, lunch and dinner to prepare,pee to clean up because there were accidents all over, needless to say, they're not potty trained, they were not ready, and neither was I. I think I'll try again after I stop nursing.
5. Wanting a girl, Ok so I know my life is COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL, but I want a daughter. Any ideas on how I can get one???? I actually visited a web site trying to figure out when I wanted another baby (girl) I think I'll try one last time December 2010, which would make the baby (girl) due October 2011. How does that sound?????
6. MARISSA - Well Dan's niece is living with us for the summer. She's our (my) nanny. Can I say "What a blessing"! The last couple of days she's taken Cody, Steven and Luke out. They love it because they get out of the house and I love it because they're out of the house. Is that awful?? Anyway Marissa is wonderful!
7. Dan's job, Ok so yesterday Dan lost his job. Blessing or Curse? I have no idea, who knows all I do know is thank goodness for supplemental insurance. I'll keep you updated!!!
Anyway there are other things on my mind but this will do for now!

A lot of those thoughts are my thoughts too... HA! Except your thoughts are like they're on steriods compared to mine.
You really overwhelm me! Just kidding. Just so you know every one of us has our own little stress. Mine? Why the heck did I get a puppy 3 months before having my third baby? That one I think of every day when I am cleaning up pee. I should be potty training my two year old not a puppy. It is weird how my garage affects my whole life, having it a mess like it is, is pretty much driving me crazy. Then on top of it, I can't do anything about it. Lifting all the heavy things would not be so good for my new vericose veins. I love Olivia, but lately I don't really like her. I don't know why you want one. Girls drive me crazy. And it will just worse and worse and then even worse! Seriously be careful what you wish for. See everyone has stress!!!
This blog was fun to read...I could relate to some of the things you said as I remembered back to my kids being younger and having 3 in diapers (although that still doesn't even come close to you :)
You're doing great! and I also understand about the girl thing...
All this baby talk is making me have second thoughts. Is it too late to turn back? :) Okay I don't have it quite as hard as you do so I'll just stop complaining.
Ian asked if he thought you guys were going to Priest Lake this year. I told him I didn't think so. Are you?
Yes we need to get together!!!! Our weekends are pretty much packed with things this summer but maybe I'll just come down one day.
