I have three kids now and they are all awake at the same time. Oh Lord, help me!

Finally

Baby is here, he is a week old. Born last Friday morning. I'm actually getting more sleep than I thought I would. Thank goodness!

Today...

Happy Cinco De Mayo, people!

I think today is a day for a trip to the Teacake Bakeshop. I don't know why, but taking my sickly, hacking son and daughter out for a little field trip sounds like such a great idea in this rain!! Woot woot! (I think this may also be known as pregnancy insanity.)

Are you there God? It's me, Margaret

Anyone remember that book? I feel like that this morning. So far it's not even 7 AM and I have my own version brewing...

Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.

I didn't sleep last night. Well actually I slept until 2:30 and then after that, I slept for maybe another hour or two. I woke up at 6:30 to the sound of my four year old screaming "Mommy, I'm ready to take a shower" which automatically I knew meant he had over-peed in his pull-up last night so not only do I get to help him bathe but I also get the privilege of washing and changing his sheets today. And since he was screaming, he woke up the 2 year old. God, did you remember I'm 38 weeks pregnant and am walking around with a basketball under my shirt? God, did you remember that I have to climb up on the loft bed to change the sheets with my basketball? Are you there God? My two year old is running around trying to find her new favorite pants and no matter how many times I tell her exactly where they are, I have to find them for her.

Are you there God? Do you know my husband and I can't agree on a name for the new baby? I picked out my favorites for a boy and a girl and he won't agree. He won't come up with any of his own either (except for HIS name so he can have a "junior" -- NO WAY!) and I'm letting it really annoy me. Can you fix him so he'll just agree with me, God?

Are you there God? The kids are eating their breakfast and using their spoons and fists on the table like it's a drum. I wonder when the downstairs neighbors will start to complain. It's only 13 hours until bed time and I've heard enough whining to last me until tomorrow. Are you there God? I don't think I'm going to make it.

Amen.
