No pictures today. Just a bit of an update on our week. Justin has been working a tonne of overtime in the past month and it has made me think of single mothers out there and has made me wish I helped them out more when I had free time. Besides being with the kids 24/7 and doing all the housework and errands and groceries and meal planning and budgeting there is also car and van issues (they both need to have a little job done on them in the next while) and yardwork and finishing up reno's and still trying to spend quality time with the kids. My work outs have been the first thing to go. Why is that? I have felt overwhelmed this week and very anxious and stressed. I hate saying "I'm stressed out" and usually refuse to use those words. They are overused. But even when you don't say it, sometimes it is still true! I feel a lot better (read - more positive) this morning and Justin figures he has about another week with this project. So - I will believe him again ;) and just keep moving forward and doing what I can. It sure has made me appreciate him more. I could learn to use the whippersnipper in the yard but I don't really want to. But it's getting to that place because I just want to get it done! There are also some trees to cut down and/or back. And how do you get the van to the shop alone with 4 kids? I guess you get it towed... And I would probably have to hire someone to paint the back entry because it is two stories high and I would hate to fall off the ladder while home with the kids and have no one know it. These are all things I don't usually have to think about because there are two of us. I haven't forgotten how blessed we are and I'm so grateful for so much. Just feeling a little worn out and lonely lately. I'm sure you've all had the same feeling while knowing that everything really is fine and no one will care if the weeds are waist high in your yard...
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...
