Last night I had to take my cousin, she is staying with us for a month, to the emergency room, she was having lower abdominal pain and a high fever we thought Appendix, so off we went. I got home at five this morning, we got there at 11 last night. What fun, I was able to get two hours sleep before my triplets woke me up> I hoped my husband would have gone in late to work today, but I was not so lucky this time. So on two hours sleep I am chasing around triplets, I have them watching a favorite movie right now while I have my second coke and write a quick note. OMG I am so tired, but I am mom and well I have to be here.

Thats great of you .Moms are a real gift and they do have strength in themselves. I had my cousins at home last week as there parents were out somewhere I had to face many problems they are 2 and 4 years old , I get scared for the very idea if they were my kids lol.

Hope your cousin is ok.
Well I did get more sleep than you. About 4 and a half hours. My family is leaving on a trip today and getting up at 5am. I woke at 3 something, went to the bathroom and of course couldn't go back to sleep. They left the house at 6, but I knew I couldn't go back to sleep, so I'll just have a long day. At least I don't have little kids to care for. Just me for the next week.

Everyone wants multiples, but once they get them they wonder why they did, do not get me wrong I love them and would not trade them for anything (okay maybe some sleep right now sleep) seriously they are so precious to me.. It has been an interesting day

I think it's really not easy to be a mom, especially a full-time mom. You need to take care of your husband, take care of the kids, take care of the household, and also sometimes you still need to take care of your own family or relatives. I always respect those full time mothers, where they really dedicated themselves to the families. But, as a mother, you'll just be there always whenever your kids need you, isn't it? That's mom. happy

Thank you so much, right now I am stand in mom for my cousin, I have custodial care of her for the summer and well she may be staying longer. She was scared, but she has done great.

Now if only I can get some sleep. I was never able to nap today as we had a full day with dentist appointments etc.

You are right, being mom is challenging. We had to stay awake no matter what, and no matter how sleepy, we are only allow to rest when the kids are resting. Sometimes, even they are asleep, we will still need to be awake and take care of the household chores, cooking, and so forth. But, we do enjoy motherhood!

I have no idea how I made it the first year, it is all one big blur to me. I am not sure if I did sleep during that time of their lives.

yup i know what you mean! i remember after i had a miscarriage, i was chasing around a very busy two year old and it was all i could do was to lay on the couch and play with a balloon with her. i couldnt wait til her afternoon naps. (it really took me about 6 months to get back to normal and right after that, i got pregnant again!)

Oh wow! You have triplets? How sweet! Aren't babies darlings? I have a six-month-old and I am crazy about him. Hope I don't end up spoiling him. :) What do you do when all your triplets cry for attention at the same time? Do they?

Cheers and happy Mylotting


myLot reputation of 92/100. meandmy3 (1320)   ranked 93 out of 4,892 in mother  3 years ago

Thank you so much, they are the love of my life. Now that they are older it is easier, when they were babies it was more difficult to give them the attention that they needed and at times all four of us were sitting on the floor crying.

Hope you get some rest soon. It can be really tough, I know. I remember when my kids were small, there were times that I barely got any rest and that makes chasing them, keeping patient ....just everything so much tougher. Maybe you can get a nap in when the hubby gets home. Hope your cousin is feeling better!

My husband is on the way home and when he gets here I am so going to bed and resting, it has been a long event filled day in my life
