Where has the time gone?

I can just say that time is flying and I feel like I don't even have time to wipe my nose. I always have a baby on my breast, or a toddler on my knee because everyone loves and needs mama. And I love it, truly.

Kye and I don't really have time to sit until around 8:30 because the kids are finally in bed and we can breathe. Usually our conversation is held on the couches that we are sprawled out on because we are so exhausted!

Parenthood is not for whimps! Especially if you are trying to be one of the better ones (trying is the key word here).

Kye has been super busy with work and his calling. He is good to come home and help though- like yesterday when I called him home from church because I am super sick and so are the kids and I needed to lay down.

Bishop is good about letting him come home too and is always concerned for our family.

I have great friends who are also neighbors who seem to always be taking care of me and my kids.

We are blessed.

I finally had time to write in this blog because it's 4 AM and I have been so sick all day and I finally decided to just get out of bed because I wasn't sleeping anyway. I am sure the second I fall back asleep baby will cry and need a feeding.

Tis life!

Hopefully next post is sooner than/then (I really need to learn the difference between then/than) later. The days drag but the I turn around and another week has gone by.

Cheers to all stay-at-home moms who are doing their part to raise kids in this crazy world!

Mom's don't get sick days...Sorry you have not been feeling well! If I lived closer and didn't have my own little family to care for, I would be down there in a minute to help out! Great post....time truly does fly, but the important part is just simply being a mom and always being there for your kids. (Even if it is to wipe their bum:)

Word, Kelly. Being sick stinks, and I can relate to the complete zombie-on-the-couch collapse with your spouse after kids are down. I'm working on breathing as well, and I only have half the kids you do:).

You're awesome Kelly. Is it wierd to think that someday you'll look back at days like this and cry because you miss them? I have to keep reminding myself of that too. Keep plugging along and I hope you feel better!

What an eventful day! Here we go... BEFORE I being, I need to explain something. When I went to the Dr. on Thursday I was 37 weeks. She told me that 37 weeks is full term. The baby had also dropped. Stripping the membranes isn't inducing because the baby won't come if it is not ready. Also, she was expecting me to go into labor anytime, so it just made it convenient to have him come when Kye had work off and could be home. My contractions started to be painful around 7:00 am. Everyone was up. Katelin was laying by me on my bed being my nurse and holding my hand. So sweet. Kye was loading the car. Around 8:00 we had dropped the kids off at Crystals (LOVE you Crystal) and headed for the hospital. The longest ten miles of my life. I thought we were going to have a baby in the car. The contractions started coming every five minutes and lasting two minutes. Now you would think ten miles is quick, but not on the I-10 that is under construction during traffic! Kye tried to pull over t...

The Price Is Right 10/25/1999

Ten years ago this weekend, I went with my mom, sister, Rochelle Waite and Amber Bush to try to get on The Price is Right. I wasn't interested in really being on the show; so I lagged behind, didn't comb my hair, or take the time to do to much makeup. I would never get picked. Holy smokes, they called my name and the rest is history! Let me answer several questions right now: No, I didn't know what was going on. In fact, after everything happened, I had to sit down and fill out a bunch of paper work. I couldn't remember my address, how to spell my name, or recall what even just happened. I remember thinking, "What did I just win"? Yes, I kissed Bob and he stinks like Halloween make-up...an inch thick. (Seriously) The wheel is not heavy. No, I didn't know I was going to be picked. I didn't get to keep the $500 cash. Someone came and took it from me because, "Bob uses the same bills for every show." They just took it off my taxes. No, it is not...

Easter Bunny Poll

I put a poll just to the right of this post. My father-in-law and I were discussing whether you should have the Easter bunny come on Saturday or Sunday. Growing up, the Easter bunny always came to my house on Sunday. He thinks everyone has him come on Saturday. PLEASE VOTE so I can see if I have a valid argument or not. Also, feel free to comment with your traditions. (I told my mother-in-law I was going to do this...)
