well..we've made it.
i'd like to exaggerate and say that we are barely hanging on and that most days i am walking around like a zombie, but the reality is far less dramatic. we have been beyond blessed. oliver jack is a fantastic little baby and harper and calvary are fantastic little kids. the reason i am not a zombie is because of my fantastic husband. there have been impossible days, but on those days i have my mother-in-law to thank for rescuing me and taking my two precious preschoolers out for some much needed attention. on other impossible days i have had my own mother come to my rescue and sit with me and chat either on the phone or in person. my house is not clean. i have barely made it out of my pajamas before 3:00pm...if then. but this week i have managed to prepare meals for my family of 5 and wash and sort all of the laundry...babysteps. our schedule looks a little like this:
7:24 kyle turns on the television for the kids....

I love your new blog layout Cassie and I appreciate your comment on my blog. When I had children as young as yours, I don't think I would have been able to commit myself to a daily time of writing that required so much thinking.
Just keep doing what you're doing (being a great wife and mom and part time blogger!). There will be plenty of time for you to become a writer when they are older and less demanding, and every little blog along the way will be a stepping stone to fulfilling that goal.
Your family is beautiful!
