How Do People Have More Than One Child!?

As is very obvious, I have been slacking in the blogging world. We need to add Crew to the header and sidebars. Posting on a semi-regular basis would be nice too. But who has time? THAT is the question that I'm posing to all the parents out there who have more than one child. Seriously. I don't know if I'm simply incompetent, disorganized or something else but I seem to be incapable of getting things done. I have several major accomplishments that I get done on a regular basis...my kids are fed, their diapers are changed (note the plural: that's because I haven't made the time to potty train Mia yet) bills are paid on time and doctor visits are attended. Dinner is NEVER prepared, the house is occasionally clean and I, myself, am rarely presentable.

I always envisioned myself with 4 happy kids, a spotless house, personal time to read a book or practice the piano, dinner on the table at 5:00 while I greeted my husband with my hair styled and makeup applied. I gotta say, I'm falling a bit short in my expectations. (Although despite the madness I'm pretty sure we're all still pretty darn happy.)

The point of this post? Not sure. Just maybe to wonder aloud how on earth people have more than one child and maintain a semblance of organization and sanity. I hope it's not just me.

We're Home

Crew came home on Saturday afternoon after 10 days in the hospital. He is doing really well. He is his normal happy self and plays and moves around as if nothing ever happened. We feel very blessed. Thank you, everyone, for your support and prayers.
