I need a vacation. And a wet nurse for Josie. And a magic wand to make my kids stop fighting with each other CONSTANTLY. And a magic wand that could sell our house withOUT losing $20k...stupid frickin' economy.

*sigh*

I really cannot complain, though. I keep reminding myself that Nick has a GREAT job, with GREAT benefits, and in this economy, that is so much. Plus, I have this wicked, awesome 'job' that I love, and three healthy, beautiful kids.

But I. Am so. Tired.

I think Josie must be going through a growth spurt, because I just cannot keep the kid full by the time 6 o'clock rolls around, she nurses constantly throughout the day, maybe every hour, and then pretty much after 6 I become a human pacifier.

As I type, my whiney-skipped-my-nap son is crying for ME to go find his gross, smelly, sucked on blankie. His mood went severely down hill after (while I was nursing Princess Eatsalot) he rubbed adult shampoo in his eyes...Lord knows why he did it, but he did.

I'm desperately trying to keep them quiet because Nick is sleeping (back to third shift tonight...uggghhh)...but I tell you, the kids will NOT stop arguing and bickering. They are slowly driving me insane. *Think happy thoughts, Rachel*

I can't believe Josie will be EIGHT weeks tomorrow...she is growing up much too fast. She laughed for the first time today, she was half asleep and it was the darned cutest thing I've ever heard :)

Anyways, she's starting to fuss and I'm going to try to stop it before it gets REALLY bad...I leave you with some pictures!

Father's Day 2009 - Breakfast in bed with THREE kids this year!

Downtown before lunch at PF Changs!

Getting some love from Brynn!

Nicholas' turn to love on Daddy!

My stylish little guy in the morning...

Trying to get it out, now...

So sleepy and oh-so-squeezable!

How can a TWO year old look like an 18 year old??

Brynn took this one :) I love that I have photog kids!

This is what happens when a 5 year old jumps into a kiddie pool, landing on her knees, on top of a hard, plastic Sponge Bob Squarepants' nose...

Holding tight to Ottie and Lamby while it's about to get cleaned out..

We had a great nurse! :)
