That's all I will say about that. Things happened, and they will happen no more or my life will completely be changed. Trying is over, doing is what will happen or that's it. Period.

With that said it's been a long day. I was supposed to go grocery shopping today and perhaps even a little for myself with the gift certificates I have from Christmas, but it didn't. And being that it's supposed to be -17 degrees tonight I will not be going tonight. Tomorrow most likely, hopefully during the day if my brother shows up, then Mr. Caleb gets to go grocery shopping. Which means I really need to get to that list tonight, and coupons to make the trip worthwhile and NO extra random spending occurs. Lord knows we don't need that! :) That always seems to happen at the grocery store and it's horrible. Target is another good place for that too.

I finally got some semi recent pictures up of the boys on their journals if you follow them, and you're not on Facebook with me. I didn't have my memory card down stairs with me so the photos are mostly from them at 4 months, and Caleb before he turned 2.

Other than that it's been a lazy day..all of the organizing I wanted to do this weekend didn't take place. Hopefully soon so I can feel like I've taken my house back. But it's going to involve a lot of work. I have to clear out a TON of clothes for the boys and I was thinking about listing them on Ebay to see if they sell...craiglist just hasn't worked so far with the few things I did list so I'm going the Ebay route before a big garage sale with spring. We shall see.

Well, it's getting late, I'm tired and I have to get the menu for the week together, get coupons and then the list. Wish me luck!

How I'm Feeling: determined

I'm tired, but I figured I'd come here to say at least something for the new year...I'm going to try my best to come say something each day. It may not be worth reading..but hey it's something, right?
The boys are really trying to see how long I can go without good sleep. It must be a game or something. BRG was up what seemed like every single hour of the night for me. The worst part is I have to re-swaddle him for him to go back to sleep. Annoying. The other two seem to be doing a lot better. So I think instead of having DMG with me at night in the bassinet, it may have to be BRG. TAG seems to be doing awesome so far in his crib..we've gone from having to re-swaddle him every hour to maybe once a night. score. but ugh...it still sucks.
I knew having triplets would be hard..but thought that by 5.5 months I'd be getting more sleep.
Not to mention CTG is in a big boy bed and so his days of sleeping until 8 are out the window. I feed his brothers about 6 AM and he is up by 630 ish, sometimes earlier, but lately never anything after 730. I'm so dang tired in the morning it's nice he will just sit with his milk and blanket and watch a show with me..or he watches and I catch a cat nap...which is not restful because you can't let a 2 year old run the house.
I got a magic bullet today from one of my best friends. She spoils me. I've told her I need to make baby food before I lose my house and needed to get something to make it with, so she did some research, asked other mothers who made food and got it for me. Now, I have to get to it and make some..see how it goes. Hopefully well..I'd hate to disappoint!
Any tips or sites worthy of what little time I have for making baby food are welcome. I know it can't be that hard, and I've already received some..but more are always welcome.
I also need to find time to write to companies to see which still offer discounts for multiples, and coupons. I need to live on coupons. I probably won't be all Kate Gosselin about it, like the whole faucet episode, but still. Plus I need to plan menus for each week and grocery shop accordingly. New year, and new ways of life for us in this house.
And as if I didn't already need 17 extra hours in a day I need to find even more to go through the trios clothes to get rid of what does not fit. I mean we won't be having any more kids unless I drug and take all advantage of my husband constantly, and miralces happen because we won't be heading back to the RE seeing as he wanted 2 kids and I wanted 4...though I would've liked to be pregnant more than twice. Plus, to be honest, I'd like a girl..even if that makes 5 kids. Here is to winning the lottery.
Okay..it's very late, BRG will surely keep me up tonight, but still, I like to tell myself toinght will be the night I fall alseep and when I'm woken up it will be 6 AM. Here is to wishes coming true...heck, I'd even take 2-4 hours straight sleep.
K, here is hoping I can make it back tomorrow :)

How I'm Feeling: exhausted

I sit everyday and look at my 4 boys..and I wonder how I went from thinking I could never have children to being so dang privileged to be their mother. Seriously. They blow my mind every day with all the new things they learn and do..and they are so young. With Christmas coming up I find myself often thinking about what it will be like in just a few short years. The traditions we will start, that they will hopefully hold with them when they have thier families. Like how much fun it will be to watch their eyes light up at what Santa has brought them. How we will have to wake them up this year to open presents, but soon enough they will run into our room to wake us up bright and early. I can't wait.

I always knew being a mother was going to be wonderful..but I never, in my wildest dreams, ever, thought it would be this outstanding. I can't even find the right word for it..I honestly can't. I love it.

The triplets are hard right now..but get easier each day..only to have something new come up to make things interesting again. Like starting solids...but seriously..all of this is so worth it. Even Caleb's knock down, drag out tantrums I look forward to each day..if only to find a new way to stop them!

Not sure where all of this came from..but I am so proud to be a Mommy...
