I'm Wearing A Tent
Well, I'm officially wearing a maternity shirt. And I officially look stupid. I'd take it off if it wasn't so danged comfortable. I have three normal shirts that are still working for me, all of which I got for my birthday. So that's Mon, Tues., and Wed. You don't want to see me from Thursday to Sunday! C'est la vie. I've got three pair of normal jeans that still fit- okay, they fit before a meal. After a meal, I go redneck and unbutton that baby. I just can't stand tight stuff around my middle right now! Anyway, I'm feeling pretty silly in this shirt, but there's something to be said for the roomy cut! As long as nobody sees me, that is. Please, avert your eyes.
In other news, school was good today. I've figured out that we have to do our math first. Phonics and reading come easily to Czarina and she loves it. When we do math last, by the time we get to it, she's frustrated and restless and ready to be done for the day. So we did it first thing this morning, and it was great! I don't want to skimp on her math, so I think this change will be a big improvement. Our biggest obstacle these days seems to be the Duke. Czarina is vastly amused by anything he does and he knows it. That stinker is a major distraction. Usually, he's still asleep when we get started, but occasionally, he is awake and in full performance mode. He loves, loves, LOVES his big sister, and will do almost anything to get her attention. It's in those moments when I think about adding a newborn to the mix, and I get afraid.
In the busiest, most hectic hours, I really question my ability to juggle it all. But, in the end, I know I will because I have to, and it will all be okay. That's the way I am. It doesn't matter how difficult it can be, because what choice do you have but to deal? I am too responsible to freak out (much, anyway)- and I'm not bragging, that's just who I am. I won't have a break down, because who will clean up the mess? I'm fairly certain there's a more noble attitude to have about it, but hey- whatever gets the job done, right? Ha! Seriously though, I am thankful that God has equipped me to deal with the life we lead. He's used the past five (+) years to mold me into a more easy-going, patient, and generally content person. I think those things will come in handy with four children under the age of 6. And again, I'm not building myself up- I am overflowing with imperfection- but I recognize how God has used the circumstances of my life to prepare me for the journey ahead. It's good to know there is a point to all we go through!
Okay, I'm gonna go feed myself now. I'll spare you the weird details of the pregnant lady's menu. And you're welcome.
