1 too many

Other than starting off my day already worn out and feeling not so great, having 4 kids around the house today hasnt been that bad!   I’m watching my friend’s 1o month old, the only odd thing is she’s a girl, not that at this age its much different but it’s still odd having a little girl around the house.   I picked her up this morning dropped off her dad at work, and after realizing I didnt know what our dinner was going to be decided to risk going to the grocery store with the 3 munchkins, Zeke Bo and Emily while Caleb was at school.   It wasnt hard at all actually.  The most difficult part was getting them to and from the car/cart.   Emily isnt walking yet so I had to hold her and the infant carrier and I let Bo walk but I couldnt hold his hand so it was  a tad scary!  I got a parking spot close to the store though so it was just brief, then we were fine once the two elder ones were situation in the car cart and Zeke in the front of the cart in his infant carrier.  The rest was fine, getting back to the car was again interesting and by then I was even more worn out but felt good at being able to accomplish the trip to the store w/ the three of them.   The greatest thing about Emily is she naps, twice a day!  Bo gave up two naps very early on so it’s odd to me that she’ll sleep that long, Zeke barely sleeps much during the day anymore either.   So it’s been on ok day.  The other hard part to the day was figuring out how to get Caleb from school, not like walking w/ two in the double stroller and carrying one in the snugli would work since it’s almost 100 degrees out today so I had to drive, well I could have walked, ok no I couldnt have.  I am not well enough for that especially in this weather.  I admit it, I’m not superwoman.  Soo. I drove, put the two in the double stroller and again am glad Bo walks so well so he walked next to me as we went from car to school.   On the way home Caleb had to sit up front as there wasnt room for him the back w/ the other 3 carseats.    It’s been an interesting day, and other than the craziness of transporting 4 littles ones its not bad at all.  I just wish I wasnt so darn tired.   this is day 3 of feeling like I did before when I was begging the dr to figure out what was going on.  I’m not in the mood to actually go to the dr though so until it’s been a week or gets worse I’m just going to keep trying to keep up and get by.  I’m looking forward to crashing when Dean gets home, after we take Emily home of course, and then enjoy some yummy spinach alfredo lasagna I made today for dinner!   Mmmmmm!!!
