reality sets in

I brushed a child's teeth, helped a child in the shower, took another one potty, and quizzed another with her spelling words all within 10 minutes of each other and ALL while breastfeeding. I need a virtual pat on the back right now.

Oh, and if another person asks me if we are wanting another child, I'll... I'll... I'm not sure what I'll do to them, but I'm sure it will be something gruesome... like an evil stare while pretending I had lasers shooting out or something utterly evil like that.

    the 4th has definitely been the tipping point for me, too. CRAZY times!!! most of the time, it's not utterly overwhelming (although sometimes it is!), it's just the constant pace...no down time whatsoever. just keep swimming!!! ;)

    Hey Monique, I was wondering....are you wanting another child?

    Oh wait, you've been asked that before? Oh, sorry. Forget I asked.

    And here's your virtual pat on the back, Supermom!

    Good luck. I can't imagine my life x 3 extra kidlets. I bet you were nursing as you posted just then too. Been there, done that.

    I remember after having my fourth thinking...."wo, I have a lot of kids". Don't worry Monique you have enough brain cells to make it all work. You may question your multi-tasking skills you once prided yourself with from time to time though. In fact that is a constant thought for me now. Sounds like you did well multi-tasking this go around. Somehow you make it all work. I'm not ruling out more for you by the way ;) I'm willing to bet your standards of how you think things must go slowly start to lower. After four something has to give. It will never be the way it was. Just remember I said that when you get those defeated feelings from time to time.
