Blog-aholic?

OK so I'm reallllllllllllly liking how easy this blog thing is! Before, I had to open one program, make an entry, save the file, then flip over to another file on the computer, open the uploading program, find the file I'd just updated, open it & then upload and repeat this process for every page of the site I needed to do. Photos were even more complicated as there are so many stored on our computer and I had to make a thumbnail and then re size again for the larger photo, then transfer them all to the website folder, then insert each thumbnail individually, then assign the matching large photo to each jpg, then upload the file & blah blah blah. Alot of the time I'd think about updating the site, then cringe at all the time consuming steps involved and just go to bed instead.

Whew! what a night last night! Honey made several loud demands through the night, couldn't find her water, just felt like hollering, moaning and groaning, wanted to go pee etc. At 3am she announced "I'm aww done seeping!" Hah! The heck you ARE! Then I discovered that Lovey had peed her bed. All this after spending a couple hours in Sweetie's room with her. I was sooooo exhausted that I talked myself into leaving Lovey in her wet bed since well as long as she's covered up, she's warm in there right??? So I sleepily crawl back into bed only to find my guilty conscience isn't going to let me sleep anyway!! So I go back & change her & put new sheets on the bed & tuck her back in. Then I was able to go back to sleep. Next thing I know it's about 6:20 and Honey's crying. I go back into their room and put on her music thingy, hoping she'll drift back off. Nope, she's all done seeping again! I tell her that I'M not and that she has to go back to her bed or come sleep in ours. She opts for ours but after 20 minutes she's all done seeping THERE too. *%$%^ Then I hear Lovey talking & calling from their room and give up and figure Murray might be able to get a little more sleep if I get them away from that end of the house. Maybe they'll just play or read their books while I snooze on the couch??? Nope, Honey lays down on the floor and cries about I don't know what! Lovey was actually keeping herself entertained quietly with a book but it only takes one to ruin a good nap! Now Sweetie's talking & singing in her room. Lovey goes down to greet her. Wrong move! This sets Sweetie off into a shriekfest of "close da door!!!! close da door!!!" and Lovey's enjoying her powers of perturbance (real word??? dunno!) and stands in the doorway, possibly doing a little happy dance, I'm not sure, I couldn't see her from where I was but I wouldn't put it past her. I drag her out of there & Sweetie comes out on her own and I round them into the kitchen for breakfast. It's after 7:30 now so Murray's up & moving and commiserates with me as they get mad because they don't like the juice I gave them or because there isn't enough milk on the cereal (not entirely flooding over the rim the way they like it) etc etc. Being already overtired we're not in the mood for their ridiculous fits and whines and I'm ready to fly off the handle & stick in the wall! Not even 8am & I'm ready to list some kids on EBay!!! Once they got some food down they were much better so maybe they weren't possessed by demons but just hungry. It's hard to tell the difference sometimes....

The morning went well, they helped me pick up toys, clear the dishes from the table, change the sheets on the beds etc. Mum got here around noon & I took off to visit one of the twin moms from my club. Her DH is away in Afghanistan, badly injured recently in an accident, her twins are 6 months old and she has a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old besides. The babies have been teething all week & fussy with colds so she was looking forward to me coming over to hold down the fort while she crashed for a nap. Since the boys had been fussy & running a fever for several days, she decided to take them to the ER (couldn't get in touch with her doctor). I got to play with her older daughters & get a sneak peak of life a year from now, very interesting & fun! Turned out one of the boys had a chest infection and the other had an ear infection. She brought them home and went back out for their prescriptions. When she got back she looked a little wiped out and was so thankful that I'd brought them meatballs for supper because she didn't have anything planned for supper & no clue what she might make. Last night at 10:30 when I was starting to make the meal I was tired & thinking she probably didn't need it but I was wrong so I'm glad I did do it. Before her DH left for overseas she said alot of her friends & former coworkers all offered to come over and help but that since he'd been gone, none of them had really come through. It was only other Moms of Multiples (MOMs) that she'd received any help from. Takes one to know one I guess! I felt guilty leaving her when she looked so tired but Mum was waiting to get home and I'd already been gone all afternoon. I offered to keep all the kids for her next weekend if she wanted to go home and have a rest so maybe that'll help a bit.

Tonight I'm all tired out again so we're just going to watch a movie and relax. Hopefully I'll be sensible enough to get to bed at a decent hour..... maybe...
