Adjusting

Garrett will be a month old tomorrow. I can't believe it has only been a month! Time flies when you're not pregnant! Having three children has been an adjustment on all of us. Everyone is having to deal with a messy house and an often grumpy tired mom/wife. The kids have their days. Yesterday was a not so good day. Lots of arguing and fighting between Carson and Paige. Paige started to get sick with a low grade fever and a runny nose. All of my best laid plans to clean the house fell apart. Last night there were 8 (yes eight!) loads of laundry to put away. Trevor dose all the washing, me and the kids put away. Trevor has been doing a lot more than washing lately. I feel bad that he goes to work and then comes home to do much much more. But that is just our life right now.

Today however is shaping up to be a better day. After a terrible night of Garrett grunting and complaining, Paige waking up a million times, and Carson needing that famous glass of ice water in the middle of the night, my children were so helpful and cheerful! How refreshing. Carson helped sort all 8 (yes eight!) loads of laundry. He put his clothes away AND his sisters! This chore took him about 45 minutes! I didn't even have to ask him or nag him. It was all his idea. What a sweet boy. He just made my day. Things have been smooth sailing thus far.

I know life is going to be crazy for a few more weeks and I am slowly coming to grips with that. The hardest part is my messy house. It drives me crazy to have my floors a mess and toys everywhere. I am looking around at my house and it is just a mess. There are clean dishes in the dishwasher and a huge stack on the counter. My floors all need vacuumed and mopped again, even though I just did it on Monday. There is baby stuff everywhere. Oh well, I'll get it done someday. I'm just so happy to have my laundry done! Carson rocks!
