I'm coughing.
Jaxon's coughing.
Joshy's coughing.
Luci's coughing.
Eric is happy, healthy and wise.
But not here.
Board Reviews all weekend.
Again.
He walks in the door and exerts all of his energy just to stay awake.
He fails miserably. I feel bad for him. Luci doesn't.
She thinks it's funny.
Luci woke up this morning with her eyes glued shut.
I've never seen anything like it.
A warm wash cloth and warm bath did the trick.
She ate.
She laid on me and
She's sleeping again.
Where was Joshy while I took 10 minutes to feed and hold Luci?
Oh, don't worry.
Opening the box of strawberries and
biting the tops of of each one and
throwing the rest on the UNMOPPED kitchen floor.
Eeeeewwwwww. But It's okay. I'm used to it.
This is what my couch looked like yesterday.
And the day before that.
Seriously. It's okay.
I'm used to it by now.
But it DOES put me in a bad mood.
And then he goes and builds a genius spider robot thingy.
Best toy ever. Trio Building Blocks.
So, I took a MUSCLE BLAST class the other night.
Great workout. It's exactly what it sounds like.
A 60 minute class that blasts every single muscle in your body!
Seriously. It was awesome. It hurt like the dickens.
What does that even mean?
Anyway, I'm SO sore today.
Why does it take my body almost 2 days to feel the hurt?
I'm at a frustrating stage.
Somewhere in between Post-pregnancy and Pre-fit.
Maternity clothes are far too big on me right now.
But the clothes I Love and want to be wearing are far too small on me right now.
So I'm stuck wearing Pajamas or jeans that are too tight
or tops that hug the wrong places.
I'd rather just be pregnant again or skinny, like, NOW!
Why does it take my body TWO MONTHS of solid work-outs to be in my clothes?
Postponed Trips to see my family put me in a bad mood.
Clothes that don't fit put me in a bad mood.
1/2 eaten strawberries on the kitchen floor puts me in a bad mood.
Being sick and sick kids put me in a bad mood.
Ketchup all over my couch puts me in a bad mood.
Board Reviews put me in a bad mood.
Never seeing my husband and feeling like roommates puts me in a bad mood.
"No use crying over Spilled Milk."
??? WHO CAME UP WITH THAT ???
... it makes me cry.

I was just thinking about the spilled milk phrase yesterday, no lie. I cry over it, too. Hang in there!
And seriously, you two make the most fabulously cute, beautiful babies I've ever seen. It's awesome!

Your little Luci is the cutest thing!!!! Don't you just get all cheered up just looking at her!!?? and Your Boys are growing up too fast they are so big now. Love you fabulous Mother of Three!! This too shall pass ( Who came up with that?)
Ohhhh...Mindy! I am reaching through my computer screen right now in a desperate attempt to give you a big, giant hug! I'm so sorry you are having a bad day (couple of days? weeks?). You are seriously the most beautiful person I know (inside AND out) and it makes me sad to know that you are having such a hard time! I hope writing this blog post was therapeutic for you. If not, at least you were able to channel some of your frustrated/angry energy somewhere. I'm thinking of you and will include you and your sick little ones to my bedtime prayers tonight...hugs!
Seriously? You would rather be pregnant than where you are at now?
Seriously? Didn't you just talk to me this morning? Have I not taught you anything?
