I’m not going to front. Life is crazy right now. Having four children so close in age is nuts. Nuts I tell you. My job is them right now. My identity is them. I am a mom. I know it won’t always be like this. But right now, I’m in survival mode. And in this mode I keep reminding myself that if I praise God, love my husband and love my kids, everything will be alright. And it will be…right? My days feel like a whirlwind of meal serving, snack making, butt wiping, nursing, disciplining, dish washing, floor scrubbing, laundry folding, homeschooling madness. Right now, I can’t even wrap my brain around what mommyhood is like outside of having all four children total dependent on me for their basic needs of survival. Drinks, food, grooming, hygiene…are all in my hands from the moment their eyes open. I think I can handle survival mode right now. After 7 p.m. when I’m making my mommy rounds and they are all asleep in their beds…quiet, peaceful, still…it really doesn’t seem all that rough. Until 6:00 a.m. rolls around.

it is so hard, keeping up. i feel so cooped up at home with all this snow, but when i get out and my toddler is impossibly difficult when my hands are occupied with my baby, i wonder why i even left the house!
but our hands are full of blessings:)
