This picture is actually from a few weeks ago, but represents how today went.
So something was bothering our dear little Kiera today which meant she was totally out of her normal routine and wanted to be held constantly! She spent much of the day carried in the wrap just so that I could attempt to do other things. Days like this make it seem impossible to be the kind of mom I want to be. The boys get the short end of the stick as far as time and attention which leads to meltdowns and crying (mostly from Gabe). I'm pretty sure that I will eventually be immune to crying since I hear so much of it right now! To top it off, we are still unpacking and trying to organize our things from the move (not to mention just keep up on general housework). This means that all the boys want to do is play when Matt gets home, but there's so much that needs done, we keep putting them off just a little longer. I keep telling myself that things will be more settled in a couple of months. Kiera will fall into a better routine and start sleeping through the night giving mommy more energy and patience. Eventually, things will be unpacked and as organized as possible with 3 little ones. For now, we focus on survival - I mean that literally since I've put on the grocery run for awhile now and we're running out of food! Kiera seems to calming down now, so here's to hoping for a sleep-filled night after I finally make that grocery run.
