I have a headache

I have a headache. I have had a headache for a week. I hate it! It's amazing to me how this headache can make me not want to see anyone, go anywhere or do anything. It has made me short tempered and tired. I tried to nap with Caden this afternoon but it wasn't dark enough and they are doing some sort of construction down the street. Imagine my short temperedness then! SO anyway - this grumpy and somewhat depressed state I have been in this week makes me angry at myself. I believe that you make your own life. So if you are complaining - you are your own complaint department. It is no one else's fault and no one else is going to fix it for you. What that means then is that I need to get up off my whiny butt and do something about it. That's all fine and dandy until your body (or head in this case) betrays you and distracts you from what you know best. I can only imagine what it must be like for people who suffer with chronic pain. I'd be a basketcase. I am so grateful that this headache will pass and things will get back to normal. So enough! I have been allowing myself to wallow. I guess that's ok once in a while but what a waste. I mean, we only get so many days in this life - how do I want to spend them? Not miserable that's for sure! I'm off to take some more tylenol and to put a smile on my face.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.
