I'm just one person

trying to please five people. Sometimes it is overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough and there is not enough of me to go around. It makes me grouchy and tired. I guess I have to keep reminding myself that it will get better. This feeling always seems to come shortly after having a new baby.

This weekend Steve took Lauren and Kyle camping at Mt. Charleston. They did the hike and had a blast. They stunk so bad when they got home and their toes...disgusting. Anyways, Steve said Lauren kept thanking him for taking them and said she was having such a good time. So cute a little bonding weekend for the three of them. Lauren brought me home some little branches and rocks since I couldn't join them. Kyle brought home a honkin walking stick. Looks more like a small tree trunk. They are already planning hike number two and are determined to do all the trails on Mt. Charleston.

While the kids left, I had to take Kade to the doctor. He was in so much pain. He just wanted to be held and he was crying so bad. It took forever at the doctor's office and then we had to wait an hour for the antibiotics. He has a really bad ear infection. Thankfully Brandon slept through the entire office visit because I don't know how I would have managed. I juggled the two of them for the rest of the night. Nursing and holding. Poor baby. Kade is doing much better today.

Today is father's day. Grateful for dad. Thankful for the person that he is and for all that he teaches me. Glad that he's not the type to get upset about no gifts....because I am running behind. Need to whip him up a little somethin. The kids made the cutest gift in primary today. It was a pet rock holding a sign that said Dad you rock! Made me laugh. Just want dad to know that he rocks!

I can't even imagine what it's like with 4 kids. I have a hard time with just one & a husband. You always do an amazing job though. I've always admired how on top of things you are & how you keep your family running so well & you always look cute on top of it all. Hang in there....big changes, like a new baby can make you feel like that I'm sure.

love ya!
