And then I said... "let's fix this!"

One of the joys of having three very small children is that you start to forget you are much more than a mommy. All day and night you cater to your family... bottle after bottle, diaper after diaper (and pull-ups), meal after meal, rocking in the chair, naptimes, playtimes, the room is actually spinning as I think of everything! I have reached a point where my hair is falling out again and I am so incredibly stressed.

I love my children and I love my husband, but we need to make a few little tweeks around here. First thing we have been working on is a better bedtime schedule. Gone are the days I am going to allow Bo to be up till 2 am. He gets lain down in his crib by 10:00 pm every night whether he likes it or not. He yells and constantly tries to wake up Gage and Cote, but we are sticking to our guns. I cannot remember the last time I got more than 4 hours of sleep for two nights in a row... thus the importance of this endevor.

Next... Keith and I are working on reconnecting as a couple. Keith returned home from the second deployment on Christmas Eve 2009. No shit. So he came home to a house full of babies and thats how it has been ever since. Our entire relationship has been deployments and babies and Army. So now here we are and we are working on getting to know each other. Sometimes it's hard because there are never enough hours in the day... but sometimes it's exciting.

And lastly... we are working on fixing our health. For me it's a pretty big deal. My body is unhealthy... I need to improve my health and my weight. For Keith, he would like to lose weight and gain muscle. For Gage, we are working on making sure the food he takes in and burns off is worthwhile. For Bo we will be continuing his high protein, high fat diet. For Cote... well she is still in the clear!!!

Fixing Fixing Fixing.... I say, "let's do this now!"
