Still here...

I am still here-- actually just about every morning around 2 or 3am!!  I am sitting here feeding Rebekah--  I sit here and read my favorite blogs and other things--but with only 1 hand free-- I just don't post very often.   I do like reading blogs during that time-- I was sitting and watching a movie (part of one) but I'd fall asleep-- same with reading-- and my goal is to feed and get RIGHT BACK TO BED!!

Anyway-- things are going well here-- still have Jason home-- he goes back to work tonight!!  EEEKK--  Thankfully due to his night schedule he will still be around to help in the mornings it will just be the afternoon / evening I have to go it alone!!

I have really been spoiled-- Jason has done 99% of the laundry since Rebekah has been born-- it is so funny too becuase the first week he would be so "proud" to have the laundry all done only to find the baskets filling UP QUICKLY by the next morning--- that made him frusturated the first few days--but I think he NOW sees how NEVER ENDING laundry REALLY can be!!  

I have also been spoiled and not had to make ANY meals since Rebekah has been born--  Jason has been so sweet and waking with the older 2 (EARLY BIRDS) and haing COFFEE and breakfast ready when I wake up (on my own-- around 7:30)  then lunch has been leftovers due to being SOOOO BLESSED by our church-- we have had meals brought to us JUST about EVERY SINGLE day since Rebeakah has been born--that has truely been SUCH A BLESSING!!!!    And so delicious to try new meals-- I have really enjoyed that!!

We have managed to get our morning school/ chore routine in for the last few days-- so that has been nice-- Zachary asked when Weaver will pick back up-- it is "scheduled" to be done during Stephen's afternoon nap--but mommy has been resting during this time too-- My goal is to start Weaver again NO later than next Monday.   This week we have our Homeschool Co-op and a Lego club so I think with those 2 things and our 3 R's in the morning that will be good.

The only thing I really feel I NEED to get on top of is CLEANING--  We do our daily straightening of the kitchen, living room, dinning room, bedrooms--but  I feel there are piles of things all around..(mostly clean clothes----clothes that need sorted---clothes we have REALLY been blessed with).

I post on a board with mommy's of 4 or more children and was interested to hear how limited some of them keep their clothing inorder to keep ORDER!  I am really pondering this for OUR family-- and how it will best work...   My idea right now is 7 pants, 7 shirts (every day) and 2 dress pants, 2 dress shirts, 2 PJ's-- (that seems to be the most common number of clothing items I've read on that board)....  the rest of the nice stuff will be put in a tote-- because I don't want to get rid of anything (nice) due to handing it down the line....  I haven't made ANY progress in this area--but hope to do so soon...... SOME TIME...that may have to be a weekend task.

Well I better be going-- sorry this post is so boring-- mostly my own tracking of my days-- and sorry for no new pics-- i will work on that for next time!!

Oh 1 more thing Rebekah and I may start (SOMETIME) even now (she can sit in her bouncy seat) are is:

Start a Ritual of Tea Time with your girls!

Need to Relax?

 

One last goal-- Line Training: For Babies and Toddlers-- will make church with 2 littles MUCH easier......

 

 

Signing off-- I am being called by a little one who would like to cuddle!!

What a blessing to have meals cooked for you and for hubby to do the laundry! While the to-do list may seem overwhelming at times, just remember, take it one day at a time. :-)
