Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Finding the time to write today has proven to be a little difficult. I had a very grouchy baby boy all day! I love the baby stage. I especially love my baby’s breath. I know it’s a little odd but he is breastfed and his breath smells so sweet. I smell my babies in general. I smell their hair, their necks, their little toes! There is nothing that smells as sweet as your own baby! Anyway, I love when they are little. He is the biggest, chubbiest little happiest guy in the world BUT he is also demanding and when he wants mommy, there is no telling him no. He gets mad at me and has a certain cry he does only when he is mad at me. Like all mothers, you eventually learn all the different cries that come out of your baby. He was such a huge grouch today for most of the day and it has left me feeling a little overwhelmed. I need very little regrouping time but when I need it, I need it. When I throw in the towel, that means I am pretty close to a breakdown of some sort. I had a moment earlier where I felt that way but I pulled through. I know I am not alone in wanting to just cry sometimes when things become too much. Most days I do not feel overwhelmed at all. I mean I do take care of me three kids all day everyday so I am pretty accustomed to insanity and chaos! I’m tired, its hot and I haven’t had a moment to myself and I have to write a 600 word article before I go to sleep. I know, I know… woe is me but just in case anyone was feeling like checking into the insane asylum today, you weren’t alone!!!
