This is the job that never ends...

yes it goes on and on my friends some people started "doing it" ;) not knowing what it was but they'll continue doing it forever just because... (because the "doing it" part is so much fun!) But seriously this parenting thing really does just go on and on and on. Where do I even start? How about 5:15 yesterday morning? M (the oldest) woke up and climbed into bed with us. My husband had a brilliant idea that he was going to take M fishing. So of course mommy had to get up to get the clothes which are all clean and sitting in piles in front of the washer and dryer in the basement. When does anyone have time to fold and put away clothes? Well by 6 all the boys were up and my husband and M were on their way out to catch the big one. E of course wanted to go fishing too, unfortuntely he's still too young to understand that next weekend is his turn. The rest of the day is filled up with the non-stop work and play that goes along with having 3 boys not counting my husband. It's not really hard work that goes into but boy does it tire me out. By the time bedtime rolls around I foolishly think the end of my day is near, but remember there really is no end. Just as I sit down to relax, I hear "mommy I have poopies". Then as soon as I get back downstairs from that diaper change, I hear M at the top of the stairs "mommy I need to go poopy". My husband is in the shower as all of this is going on of course. So M does is thing but wants to be carried back upstairs. I figure hey I didn't go to the gym today why not, maybe that will make me not feel so guilty when I sit down and eat a box of Junior Mints while I watch Sweeney Todd. So I carry M to his bed and go into my room to change into my jammyjams, just as I pull my pants up M bursts into my room "mommy I have a bloody nose". Back down the stairs we go and sit in the bathroom for another 10 minutes waiting for all the blood to stop. Of course M wants to be carried up again. Fine no problem like I said I can use the little extra workout. Plus I know that even though this job never ends the different stages fly by and it won't be very much longer at all that I will be able to carry him up or that he'll even want me too. I get everyone tucked back into bed and I head back to my spot on the sofa. I of course fall asleep watching the movie. I wake up enough to drag myself up to my room to sleep for what seems like minutes only to wake up and start it all over again. Don't get me wrong I never really want it to end I'd just like to push pause sometimes and just take a little break.














this is the closest thing I have to a pause button

Ok here goes

Well I guess I need to start somewhere. I'm not sure where the urge came from to create a blog. But I did a few days ago and I've looked at the page a few times wondering why I wanted this, and when I'd take the plunge and start writing. I still haven't completely figured out the why but at least we know the when. (friday night while my husband's hanging out across the street with the neighbors and I'm sitting watching The Hills OnDemand LMAO) My mind is going in a thousand different directions of what I want to say right now so bear with me. I guess I want to explain why I'm not across the street with me husband. I have 3 little boys sound asleep upstairs in their bedrooms. I also feel the need to explain that I can be an extremely shy person(until i get to know you then you'd never believe i was shy) so I'm feeling hesitant about sharing anything on here. But I'm still typing so I guess for some reason I need to be doing this. I guess I'll just take this one day at a time and see how much I feel like sharing. I think I'm so hesitant cause I'm just not sure who will ever end up reading this so if you do read this introduce yourself lol.

Ok now enough of that random rambling. I'll introduce myself. (see here's where i'm starting to feel shy) For now I'll just say hi my name is K I'm married to a wonderful man (i'll call him T). We have 3 wonderful(difficult at times) little boys. (Yes I know I have my hands full I here it EVERYTIME I am out of the house) The oldest, M is 4 the middle, E is 2 and the baby (and yes LAST) is 7 months. We live in Massachusetts. We finally bought a house and settled down. Poor M has lived in 4 houses and 2 states since he was born. But we're back in MA where we're both from and we're very happily staying here. Though there are some friends from NC (where we lived for about 9 months) that I'd LOVE to transfer up here to be with me I miss them more than they can imagine and I find it amazing that I developed such wonderful friendships in the short amount of time we lived there (hi A and C if you come across this I love you)

Well I've lost my train of thought because my husband came home for a minute to get more beer and he sat down to chat for a minute. So I'll try to write again tomorrow but by all means give me some feedback if you find this and ask me any questions. That might help me open up a bit.

Oh and I also thought I should tell you that I only understand the bare essentials of this blogging thing I don't know how to do anything fancy but I'd love to learn so I'll probably go do some research right now. Which might possibly mean you'll be hearing from me again tonight if I learn something and feel like trying it out. Ok TTFN
