What a Day!!

 This is what I wrote to one of my online mom's support groups:

What a day!!! I gave 3 baths for nasty poopy diapers and one poo accident-- tried to start potty training yesterday cause I didn't want to spend $40 on diapers at Costco so I spent $60 on underwear and a potty seat and treats instead-- but it didn't work!! One twin wouldn't even sit on the potty and the other one was so sweet about it and the older kids sat with him, but he was kind of scared of the potty and didn't really get it. We'll keep trying-- I'm so tired of changing so many nasty diapers!! My son's b-day is tomorrow so my mom came down- a couple hours earlier than expected so we didn't get all our school work and cleaning done-- it was nice to see her though-- also we had a new friend start coming to our Greek class so that took longer than usual. I had a chance to get some cleaning done but the baby was fussing which he usually doesn't do-- so I gave up and laid down with him for a lovely nap-- I have some weird cold that makes me snore at night and I'm not as rested in the morning as I should be- now I have to decide whether to do some dishes-- there aren't many or quit and go to bed because I'm tired and it takes me a long time to get going but I could fall asleep in a minute-- and we have to be to a co-op I'm not ready for at 10 am and pass out a few flyers for primary hopefully before we go. Have I taken on too much?

Overall life is good-- I'm glad I have beautiful children whose diapers I can change and a great house where we are all comfortable and our messes are much more easily contained.  I really will miss these days, because they are so full and rich.  My kids tell me all sorts of interesting things about movies and Minecraft and other things.  I have good friends from church, homeschooling and blogs.  It will be weird to not have so much to do-- I will miss it-- so I guess I'll keep overscheduling myself and keep trying to do the impossible-- I may not make it, but I'll come closer than if I hadn't tried!
