noo go eat! D: I need to too @.@ So I'll be back in about 30 min lol

The food here will be done in about 20ish minutes, depending on how much the kiddos slow Danny down.
So I gotta keep myself awake at least until then and then hopefully James will cooperate and let us sleep tonight. *fingers crossed*

Has he been a fussy moonbaby?

He's been a bit colicky - but not as bad as Em was. But he also is greedy hungry little one, so he demands to be fed, and he will take a bottle which Danny loves because he can help out, but he prefers it from me.

Do you have any pics yet? :3

We do but we're not really feeling okay with sharing photos online.

Okay that's fine :3

I'm trying to put off having to get off, but I think I'm going to have to poof soon because I hear James slowly waking up over the monitor and it's time to get the girls into bed as well. I've missed having more free time to get on. :( Such is the life of growing up and having responsibilities that aren't online.

We miss you too Moon We'll be around when you can be here though :3

aw I missed moonie

She'll be around later :3

pass on a hug for me please

Sleep is being finicky for me... of course I can't sleep when ALL the kids are asleep. Oh the irony.

Hummy: Sorry I've barely been around, having a newborn, an almost 3 year old and a 5 1/2 year old is exhausting and been taking up a lot of my time. Thankfully Norah starts Kindergarten in a few weeks (WHICH IS INSANE AND HAS BLOWN MY MIND THAT SHE'S GOING INTO KINDERGARTEN!) and Emily starts up at preschool so I'll have a bit of downtime, well as much as one can have with an almost 2 month old.

Ruby: I miss you all too!

wow preschool already
some moonie time will be nice

Yeah, preschool and kindergarten - my babies are growing up faster than I'd like them to!

Oh for sure! I love my kiddos but I need me some time alone. My sister in law said she'd be fine taking James for an hour or two, or three, if I need some time by myself just for a little while after the girls start school. (They live in the same complex as we do.)

oh that is nice of her

She's pretty fantastic. ^_^ I'm lucky to have her and my brother in my life. :)

having family's support is awesome

It really is.
I miss my parents, but they're very toxic and I won't have them around my kids because of how they've chosen to treat me over what they perceive as something I did wrong when in fact I did nothing wrong. :/

At least I have Danny, my brother, sister in law and my kids - my in-laws are pretty nice too - Most of the time at least.

it's really their loss.
look at your beautiful family

Yeah, it really is their loss.

They're losing out on getting to know my three wonderful children.

It's not easy to cut family out of your life but I think you did the right thing, for all of you. You're protecting your children and that's what a mother is there for And you have an example of how not to be as a parent which is sometimes good in itself

I did try too to involve them in their grandchildren's lives because I did want them to know them - but they're just so toxic, that it had to be done. That was a really rough and sad decision for me to have to make. But my kids will always come first. Always.

My brother's nickname for me is Mama Bear. Because of how I reacted to my parents the last time I saw them in person... And I do have to say, that nickname fits me. I maaay have kicked my parents out of my apartment, because of how they were talking to me in front of my kids. Emily was only 6 months at the time. She was a little one. I've run into them at the store a few times -- but they just shoot nasty looks and ignore me.... the last time I ran into them - I was massively pregnant with James.

I miss who they used to be. Before they started acting this way. :(

That is so true - I know that I do not want to be like them, and I know I'll be accepting of my children - no matter what!

oi my shopping is so haphazard

Shopping for me is usually crazy because I normally have all the kids in tow. It's so much easier to go shopping without the kids. Love them, but they make shopping 5x harder.
