Oh friends. I wish I were doing better on a day-to-day basis.
I'm fine and then I get overwhelmed and then I am not fine.
Yesterday I actually said "I hate my life".
I don't know that I've said that in my entire lifetime.
And, of course, I don't.
This unexpected baby and having 4 kids has really thrown me
for a loop and I'm still spinning.

Did anyone watch Catfish last night?
Holy cow.
It was ca-raze-zy!

I think it's time to start stocking my freezer
with freezer meals again.
That will definitely help with my stress level.

In the course of a week Jude has turned from curious baby
to Child of Satan as he wants to touch everything and won't
be dissuaded. He strong-arms his way towards anything he wants,
falls of the bed in an instant, and won't cuddle anymore.
He's commando-crawling everywhere.

Now that Bianca is potty trained we decided to
try giving her milk and/or yogurt again.
She's still lactose intellorant.
Don't ask me how I know.

When did I become addicted to watching Survivor?

Matt: Did any anonymous finacial benefactors
drop off a big check to us today?
Me: Nope.

I believe in you. Hang in there. All you have to do is take one minute at a time. And remember to breathe.
I wish I lived closer. I'd help.
you're doing great, the hardest and greatest job on Earth is being a good parent. Keeping you in my prayers and loving reading you from all those years xxxxx
I'd like to share that I'm unreasonably excited about finding out the gender of your baby. That has nothing to do with your post but thought you'd like to know
I'm sorry that you are having a rough time- that really sucks. All trials have an end, it's just getting through to that end. If you have some time to read (haha I know, funny right?) the book The Gift of Giving Life is a great read- very uplifting. I hope that this week goes better for you.
If you are watching Catfish, your life can't be all bad...because that show is awe-some!
Even though it feels crazy right now, I'm sure you are doing a great job. I mean c'mon...you make teacher gifts, you take pics of your growing baby, you are making freezer meals and you are recording your life on a blog. Sounds like you are doing things that most people are too lazy to do! The teachers should be making appreciation gifts for you! :) Good job.
I don't even know what Catfish is, so no.
I'm spinning myself. I cannot even fathom my life right now--or the state of my home.
Poor Bianca.
You are an amazing woman who is handling it all, even if you don't feel like you are. We all have the "I hate my life" days. Each and every one of your posts inspires me in some way and when I click to look at your blog (daily) I am hoping you have posted something and then when you have, happiness washes over me and I feel little sparks of happiness inside. You have no idea how many people you are reaching and helping and inspiring. I don't post comments that often because you would think I was a weird blog-stalker girl but I could leave a comment to EVERY one of your posts because that's how much I love reading what you have written. I love your take on life, parenting, your honesty, and your sense of humor. Rock on Emilie, you're awesome!
Your "curious baby to Child of Satan" comment made me laugh. Not because that is a fun phase but because I know exactly what you are talking about. That transition is a brutal one. Best of luck!
Hang in there, Emilie... we love you, don't you know!!!!
