feeling blog-less

Needless to say, I haven't really been blogging (is that a word? is BLOG even a word?) lately. I have been super-busy with the the 8 million kids that I have...I mean 4 kids that I have that feel like 8 million with all the broken jelly jars, spilled milk, spilled water bottles, and baby-playing-in-pee-filled-toilet moments (that all happened with in about 10 minutes one morning). Life is a little hectic, but I truly do love it and feel very blessed. Today I had one of those moments when I just wanted to cry and/or scream if I got one more of those "that poor lady" looks. Yes, I know it may appear that I am feeling overwhelmed when I have all 4 of the boys trying to go to the pediatrician on the second floor or when I am in Braum's trying to grocery shop with a shopping cart that has no place to hold a child/baby and then when one, no two, decide that they have to poop "right now" and can't hold it, of course. Yes, I may appear overwhelmed and may even be a little overwhelmed at that very moment in time, but I seriously wouldn't have it any other way. Seriously. God has blessed me times 4. I still can't believe that He has entrusted me with these 4 little ones. I have days where I feel like I have failed miserably....but I still wouldn't have it any other way. I love these little guys to pieces. God gave me each of these little guys. I am blessed beyond words. I can't imagine my life without them...well, I may get more sleep, but it wouldn't be nearly as exciting. And by the way, for those who have been asking...homeschooling is great!!! We just finished our first unit which was on Creation. It was fun. To see their excitement and to see the "light-go-on" moments when they understand something for the first time is PRICELESS!! To be reading a book while waiting for the doctor and hear Nate say, "Hey, God made that hippo on the 6th day" is just truly rewarding. I can't imagine it any other way...even when I am redoing the calendar for the 14th time because Caden has pulled down the numbers AGAIN. Wow! How blessed I am! Seriously blessed! I really will post some pictures soon!
