Alaina turned 3 months on sunday! she now weighs 11 pounds 4 ounces! almost twice her birth weight.

Alaina loves her new swing! at first i didn’t think she cared for it much because she was scrunched up in it..it needs to be broken in some i guess.

i am going to buy those little jiggly eyes at the dollar store and glue them to the butterflies so it looks like they are looking at her,she’ll love them!

i’m not all for too much pink,but it’s all ok for now.

i picked up some primer in town the other day and i have been wanting to paint my kitchen.the thing is,how am i suppose to have time to start that project when i barely have enough time to take care of regular things??(i mean i hardly even capitalize letters!) should i just let things go? maybe for a few days? oh, i don’t know. please someone tell me this won’t last. i want to be able to do things to make my home more cozy,but when will i find time!..(argh)

so today,i am doing TONS of laundry.i only let it back up a few days and i have done about 6 loads already and have about 4 more left.(including bedding and towels)

it always seems when i get on a cleaning streak,i have to stop to make something for the kids to eat,or change a diaper,or feed the baby….i am so busy that i actually forget to eat or drink. then my mind goes all fuzzy,and i get irritated,and feel like i am going to flip out! (i have to force myself to stop and get some water so i don’t get dehydrated)

i know with each baby,around this same time i start feeling out of control.like everything is coming at me from all directions.(MOM,i’m thirsty…mom i can’t find my shoe…,mom, alainas hungry…,mom,i have to go pee…mom, can you get me ice cream…mom,you have to sign this…mom,mom,MOM!..AHHHH!) it HAS to be the change in hormones. because when i start to think i am losing it, i come around and things slow down . then by the time the baby hits 1 year, i wonder why i thought i was so busy.(and thats when we need to be careful we don’t start thinking about another baby!)

Laura is so sweet,she offered to clean the kitchen for me and noticed i only got to half my coffee. she just heated it up in the microwave and brought it to me..she is so thoughtful.

we are going to be buying bunk beds for the boys room this coming week. also tomorrow morning we are picking up a kitchen table and chairs. i think thats one reason i feel overwhelmed also.(i have a certain picture in my head as to how i want the rooms to look, and first i wanted the rooms painted!)

i just peeked around the corner to the kitchen,laura is dancing to the radio and cleaning..it’s so cute!!

ok time to go finish the next load of laundry..(then it all has to be put away!

i wonder if i can get it put away before the baby gets hungry?  ulgh
