The world of 3

It's been 3 weeks since I entered the world of 3 children 3 and under. I thought it was an appropriate time to write a little something about what I've learned. Really, life is just about survival right now. It's been interesting having a newborn in the house again and all the lack of sleep it entails. But I think the added challenge is the sudden burst of energy the morning shift and it's 2 rambunctious little boys has brought to my world. I feel like the walking dead.

The amount of diapers I change in a day is ridiculous. Seriously, unheard of amounts. I think when I am finished with the last dirty diaper, I am using all the money we spend on diapering 3 butts and going on a weeklong cruise. And the laundry.... oh the laundry. It makes me want to curl up in a corner somewhere and suck my thumb.

I have to say, when I tell people that I have 3 children and spout off their ages, most people shake their heads or have a wide-eyed expression on their face. I then make some comment to acknowledge the fact that yes, we are in fact a little bit crazy.But, the joy of having all 3 of my kids in my minivan while we drive to the store, or sitting on the couch while we read a book is such an amazing feeling. A loud, chaotic, confusing, amazing feeling. So, 3 weeks in I can tell you that it is a scary endeavor, and not for the faint of heart. But it is the most content I've ever felt in my whole life. My cup overfloweth.
