mornin' mornin' mornin

I awoke this morning after a crazy night with the kids. Harleigh slept with me, not a problem, it is just crowded. She is tall but tiny and always seems to want to sleep sideways...thankfully I have a lot of pillows to put between us. The joys of motherhood, I got to listen to her sleep...deep breathes of peace...followed by round-house kicks to the ribs (priceless). JP woke up several times last night.
Not really sure why, I thought he was running a fever so I gave him motrin and crawled in bed with him...half of me hanging off the twin bed...would have been quite a sight had anyone walked in! Then this morning, he found his attitude, that apparently he didn't throw away last week as I asked him to...or it is a new hybrid version (resiliant to my crabby mommy powers). He didn't get his way (and I honestly can't remember what he wanted) and so he decided to call me 'doodoo head'...nice. Such a compliment from a 2 yr old!!
Well, at least my hair is still attached and my ribs are healing. I start a new day, seriously, blessed.
I wonder sometimes if I am doing 'it' right. "IT" being...my motherly duties. Of course I am...I am dealing with 3 kids that are beginning to realize they out number me! HA! OH, WOW!
Caleb did great this morning...it only took 20 minutes to get him out of bed today! He ate, played and even let me fix his hair. He is so handsome.
No, they aren't little adults...they are in training. *sigh* I have to remember that when they boycott my words and scream over eachother fighting for a red crayon (when we have 20 other red crayons).
So...here I go...off to work after a peaceful nights rest and a relaxing morning...ready for whatever!
