It's really July?

Hey how are you? It's been a while. Also the title of this post was more ironic/funny when it actually was the last day of July. ANYWAYS... How have we been?? Oh man, now that is a loaded question.

 I guess I kind of thought that after school ended I would feel less overwhelmed... haha funny. 

We have successfully moved to Columbus, David has started working at the hospital in the intensive care unit (one of the worst schedules but it's good to get the bad out of the way first), and Macy Davie and I have been exploring the library the zoo and other various places here in Columbus. 

We have a pool in our new apartment complex and lucky enough for us it's been quite chilly this summer (sarcasm) which means we have gone a grand total of two times. 

Although it's not entirely fair to blame the weather the added difficulty (and danger) of taking two VERY small children to a pool be myself doesn't help. Combine that with my husband (aka- the extra pair of hands) being gone 12+ hours a day 2 visits to the pool start to seem quite successful. 

Our family added another cousin to our little ones on the 25th, so now there are 3 boys and a Macy. David will officially NOT be joining us in Idaho for Christmas. MUCH more about that later.

 I have been trying to "craft" a little but it's more like spray painting things I want to be a different color. Davie has started to climb on things enough that he doesn't always make noise for me to come get him in the morning. So today I found him in his dresser drawer (a cheaper Ikea one) yea so luckily he didn't break it. 

Did I mention we did nothing on the 4th of July?? Yea so that's what we did, nothing the end. I'm glad that was easy enough to catch you all up on. 

Ok almost nothing, we went to a friends house and had bratwursts and hung out for a couple of hours. No fireworks, no swimming, no BBQs or parades. David worked a night shift so he came home at noon slept a little, ate food and then went to bed early after our dinner with friends. 

I have so much more to say about EVERYTHING and I'm trying so hard to be more motivated to blog in fact I've been blogging in my head almost not stop since the end of school. Hopefully I can catch up the blog by the end of the month. 

Instead of daily pictures on Facebook my goal is to have blog posts for the day :) Hope you love the random pictures!

Look at that chubby girl

Ventilation

Can I just take a second to vent? That way I don't have to complain to those around me, well unless they read this I guess. I feel like I have been doing my best to not flat out complain lately, but right now I just need to get some stuff off my chest. Also don't bother giving advice if you feel you must comment stick to those of adoration and condolences on my "tough" life.

Our place here in Columbus is bigger BUT it has some of the weirdest kitchen cabinets, we don't even have a drawer that fits a stew pot, crockpot, cereal boxes (without being sideways) or our silverware.  It's also right on the borderline of ghetto. If you go north west the neighborhoods become nice and new and if you go south east it's the exact opposite and FAST. Our townhouse also has basically no overhead lights. Whoever came up with the bright (no pun intended) idea to have certain light switches that control outlets so you only have lamps in a room was an idiot I want to punch them in the face. The next place we go overhead lights with light switches are a must! I hate having lamps they are so annoying, and I don't want to put them on timers. 

I LOVE my children sooooo much, it literally makes me ache sometimes to think about it but DANG! The crying lately is seriously just more than I can handle. And of course I am the one who feels guilty. I have basically started leaving Macy in her bed for 20 ish minutes at a time off and on throughout the day because there is just NO pleasing her. She definitely has colic. And Davie has learned the bloody scream of death when he gets angry... Let's just say when he does it in my face and I am trying to talk to him my patience burns up almost instantly. He has also begun the whining, he has so much more longevity with his whining then I have patience.

And since I am being honest the last thing I have been irritated about is me. Whoever said acne starts and ends in your teens should die a slow painful death. The last couple of weeks have been ridiculous and it's so frustrating because there basically noting I can do about it. The other day I went to the Apple store without any makeup on and when I got there I could not believe how self conscious I felt! Let's just say I won't be doing that again for a while. 

Additionally I've been really irritated with myself for not losing baby weight too. This has been the worst so far which I guess is to be expected with a 3rd pregnancy/ baby but I was really hoping to do better. All the crying doesn't exactly help with my motivation to clean or organize the house, get ready or work out either. I don't know what it is about crying, but it just sucks the life right out of me. By the time nap time comes I just fall asleep, read or watch TV, there is no energy. Funny story, when I was younger I remember wondering why my parents always wanted us to go to bed so badly and thinking what they possibly could be doing that I couldn't be included... NOW I understand and the answer is EVERYTHING. Haha, being alone is golden, quiet is platinum.

 Lastly my hair is in the shedding stage so it's EVERYWHERE and I CANNOT control it! It drives me crazy, ugh!!!!! (all exclamation marks needed)

These are just some of the main issues I have been dealing with lately, but they make life so tough! There is a certain point at which I should be allowed to complain, otherwise my problems become denial and that's not helping anyone either. I promise to blog about my blessings and fun we have had lately next time, for now I just needed to complain and not feel guilty. The end.
