to get three kids ready on a morning by yourself who are under the age of 4:
4:45 am Embry wakes up for his third night feeding.
5:45 alarm goes off-push snooze multiple times, take shower and get ready
6:30 wake up Ashton to go to dentist. Make him cream of wheat to eat. He asks multiple times to make sure you put butter in it! He asks for the "hemp milk he likes" which means a specific brand original flavor in a monkey cup with an orange straw. Get all 3 boys' bags ready and in the car.
7 Embry starts crying. Nurse him for 5 minutes. Ashton is whining downstairs because he cannot get the water on to wash his hands.You walk downstairs to help while still nursing but covered with blanket so no one can see-quite an accomplishment! Collin wakes up. Go back upstairs. Get Collin dressed.Put Embry in his crib. Pick him up and burp him. He spits up on your outfit. You wipe it off and decide to wear it anyway. Brush the older 2 boys teeth. Brush your teeth. Look in mirror and sigh. You do need to change shirt but very few shirts fit these days of the in-between weight. You grab a long sleeve shirt. You start to sweat already. Carry Embry downstairs while holding Collin's hand. This takes a very long time since Collin likes to pretend he's going back upstairs so you will chase him. You tell Collin it is not funny. You run downstairs, put Embry in his carseat. Run back upstairs. Chase Collin down and carry him downstairs. Get shoes on for everyone and head to garage. Look at clock. Only 10 minutes late leaving. feeling pretty good! Ashton, who realizes it might rain, searches for his lightning mcqueen umbrella. Starts to whine that he can't find it. You convince him you will find it. Quick search-it's not here. He's upset but forgets it when he starts to whine that he cannot buckle his seatbelt. He buckles it which is surprising to you both! Hooray. He asks for a "marshmallon" as a reward after lunch. You agree. Everyone is in car and you pull out. Clock says 15 minutes later than expected. Not too shabby! however, there is a ton of traffic headed to daycare! You turn on the radio. Foo fighters CD plays that Wes had in the car. You listen to a few songs and switch to radio. Ashton whines that he wants foo fighters. They come on the radio by chance! Crazy. Collin says "Mommy, foofighter." You think to yourself, "Wes has brainwashed these boys with the foo fighters!" You get to daycare, run inside and drop the younger 2 off and head to the dentist with Ashton. It's his first visit! Hooray! You made it!
