Be back soon....crazy moments!!

Yes, once again I am behind on blogging. The Kelly house has been very busy lately with sickness!! Poor Cohen was hospitalized for two nights at ACH for RSV. We are home now and he is doing much better. I will update about that later. This is going to be a lot of rambling, more like a journal entry, so I don't forget these moments. I also think once my kids are gone and out of the house, I will read my blog books and really miss these moments.

Worst hour of the day at the moment: Caroline 2.5, Corbin 19 months old (today), Cohen 7 weeks-
Caroline and Corbin go to Mother's Day Out three days a week and the most agonizing hour of the day is from 2-3pm each day. Once, I arrive at school to pick them up they have not taken naps, so that is the main cause, but WOW!!! Caroline demands for me to hold her, which is easy to do if I have Cohen in a stroller, but sometimes I take just the carrier in. Corbin usually doesn't want me to hold him and he runs away from me. So, I finally have all three headed to the car and the chaos begins and they are all three screaming. Today, I was almost in tears because I had the stroller and Corbin would not let me hold him or hold my hand, Caroline was on her knees crawling because she wanted me to hold her. I stopped the stroller on the sidewalk to go grab Caroline and Corbin because they would not come to the car, the stroller starts rolling and thankfully another mom caught it. I heard one mom say "there isn't a baby in the stroller". Wow, a really bad mommy moment on my part. Thankfully, most of the moms just have one child, so they are always willing to give me an extra hand. Then, the car ride home is constant screaming, then I struggle for at least 45 minutes getting Caroline and Corbin to sleep, then when there is finally silence, Cohen is screaming. Once, I had all three kids safely put in the car at MDO, I just sat there for three to four minutes and took deep breaths. Please moms with three or more kids tell me this is normal??!! I hate to even write this from a recent blog I ran across earlier today that was just heartbreaking!! I am so thankful for all three of my blessings, but please say a prayer for me Tues-Thurs from 2-3pm as it is 3 against 1 for sure. I plan to make time even if it is the middle of the night to keep this blog up. It is almost impossible to do a baby book for all three babes, so this is it. I want to blog about the good, bad and funniest days of my life. I want Caroline to be able to read our blog books once she has children and know that I went through all the things she is going through as a new mommy.

Also, big thanks to Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jason that kept Caroline and Corbin Friday-Sunday while David and I were at the hospital with Cohen this past weekend. Also, thanks to Lelly she is flying in on Tuesday and staying for almost three weeks to help me keep Cohen indoors and away from germs for the month of March. I truly believe in the saying that it takes "an army" to raise a big family!!!

Also, you know caffeine is my best friend right now because as soon as I got the kids napping, I opened a Dr. Pepper and totally forgot I drove through before I picked the kids up and got a little treat from Starbucks. I do plan to stop drinking sodas, but enjoying them just a few more weeks before I start my exercise and eating much better routine.
