I have made an executive decision for my family (for my sanity). We are hiring a nanny.
Have you ever had a kid? Or at least babysat a kid? Have you ever taken care of three kids under the age of 5 ALL DAY LONG? Have you ever had to take 3 little kids to the grocery store? Because I have. And let me tell you, sometimes it is just waaaaaay too much to handle.
I love my kids. I really really really love my kids. Bella has the biggest attitude, but she is the most hilarious 4 year old- probably the most hilarious person in general- that I have ever known in my entire life. I wouldn't say it's because I'm biased, but then again I may be. If you've "liked" her facebook page or follow her on twitter, you can be the judge. King is the sweetest boy in the world. He is also the most temperamental, and makes the most poop, but boy those hugs! I live for hugs from my Kingy. And Gabriel is always happy. First thing in the morning when we wake up and I stare into those big beautiful sort of brown eyes, smile! When I make him a bottle and sit him down to eat, smile! When I change his diapers, smile! When I put him down to sleep, smile! When he's playing with his toys and we glance at each other, smile!!! Buuuuuut, he is at that stage where he gets into everything and I have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he isn't eating Bella's barbie shoes and alphabet magnets.
To see the three of them playing and laughing together melts my heart. To hear the three of them crying and screaming together causes me to have a meltdown.
Some days mama just needs a break. So she is getting one, 2 days a week for about 4-5 hours each day. What a huge RELIEF it will be!
