Challenges , reality , milestones and family

I know I know it has been five weeks since i have updated this blog . But i have an excuse or shall i say three excuses their names are emilee matthew and tyler .
This post is going to be about the day to day of The morris house hold

Challanges

Some of the challenges of being a mom of three three and under are time , there is never enough of time for everyone . Cleaning and keeping up on the daily chores ( i really don't want to go there ) making sure everyone is getting the attention and care that they need , this one is the hardest I never really get to enjoy tyler im so busy that sometimes im finding myself saying hurry up and eat this bottle so that i can go get stuff for your siblings , or your just going to have to cry a little bit longer because darn it i need a shower . Poor jack by the time the kids are in bed and it is time to be a grown up and have some one on one time i am pooped , exhausted and just trying to get ready for the next day .
But oh am I so richly richly blessed .

Reality

Reality is I did this to myself . No body made me have three babies , so i just need to suck it up and do it . Everyone says yeah well you have your mom right there , yes that is true and yes sometimes i find myself using her more as a crutch then i should however reality is they are my babies and my responsibility and no matter if your mom lives a few miles down the road or across the country it is still hard .
Reality is my husband works second shift which leaves me to the most STRESSFUL time of day bed time , tyler does not do well at night and i am tyring to get the older two on a schedule for bed time so it is hard . Reality is I can't lay down with the kids anymore tiull tthey fall asleep
I am finding that I stay in more while that gets depressing and lonely reality is it is a hard thing to do to get three babies all buckled up in their seats and all in the mood to go somewhere and it is really hard to go shopping by myself because really how can i push two carts .
But Reality is IAM TRULY RICHLY BLESSED

Milestones

Emilee is in PRESCHOOL . This is a true blessing for both of us , It gives me a break . yes it is a break to only have two babies at home . She loves it and does really well , she needs this to get away and be her own person , I have foudn that I have treated Emi and Matthew as twins , this they are not they are two individuals at two different stages in life . So trying to let Emilee grow up while not rushing matthew to is hard

Tyler is doing really well , his head is super strong he likes to roll onto his side , he is laughing and cooing .


Matthew is Talking up a storm and really learning to express his feelings with words versus tears . I really try to stress this because whining is no friend of mine


Jack has doen a a super job at coming to terms with the fact htat we live in a zoo and that life is busy . He is such a huge help , willing to take the older kids so i can take tyler or take tyler so that i can enjoy the older ones . He is also a hard worker poor guy has been super super sick and has continued to help me and go to work ( he finally listend and came home early )

I would not be able to do this without him . He is truly my best friend
