My Battle with Three Kids...day 47....finally finished a week later

7am: Lying in bed with Mie sleeping in my arms after a rough night of constant feedings, burping, spitups, flatulence like you wouldn't believe (her, not me), and a blowout at 5am. I figured she needed some soothing sleep time with mommy after what must have been very uncomfortable gas--like a full minute nonstop. Of course, I can't sleep with her wiggling in my arms, but who needs sleep anyway. Plus, it's okay that we're off schedule this morning because I don't have to walk the boys to school since Iz will drop them off on the way to work. I can just lay here for a bit.....Yikes, time to get going. After feeding Mie and feeding myself breakfast (consisting of 2 gyozas and some broccoli from dinner plus 4 cookies--sigh, I'm never gonna loose this 20lbs of baby fat), it's time to get dinner going. Then folding laundry which gets interrupted by feeding Mie and dressing her up (best part of my morning), and then it's time to walk to school to pick up Jarom. Get him doing his homework and other chores. Feed Jarom. Feed Mie. Start doing the dishes which gets interrupted by Jarom needing me to be his mom. Keahi's home and needs constant prodding to stay on task. Feed Mie. Get dinner on the table. Snarf down a bowl as quickly as I can. Start vacuuming downstairs, but get interrupted by feeding Mie again. Get the boys to bed. Get Mie to bed. Come downstairs to see unfinished laundry, dishes, and the vacuum standing in the middle of the kitchen. Throw hands in the air and give up. Time to watch a show....and fall asleep midway. And time to feed Mie again. And again. And again. And it's tomorrow morning. Time to start again.
