How is it already Thursday?!

 

I cannot believe it's already Thursday! Thursdays are my favorite day of the week, but I don't know how we're already here. This week got away from me fast. With MLK day and the kids home from school, babysitting my niece Parker all day Tuesday, Archie's 6-month checkup yesterday and carting kids here there and everywhere I feel like I haven't had a second to breathe. I have all intentions on getting on here and then my weeks fill up with busy-ness and we're here, it's Thursday and I haven't written a single thing.

 Sometimes I laugh at how I'm experiencing so may phases of motherhood at once. I've got the high school kid, the middle school kid, 2 elementary school kids, a "preschool" aged kid who's going to kindergarten in the fall and a baby. The only thing I'm missing really is a toddler. But I'll be there before I know it. I find myself pulled in so many different directions. Archer still needs me for everything, as baby's do. I'm still waking up in the middle of the night with him sometimes, changing diapers, introducing new foods, you know all the baby stuff. Then I've got Smith and I'm trying hard to get him to gain more independence, working on stuff to get him ready for kindergarten. I've got the girls who still need help with their homework and still want to do all the little girl things (Thank God!). I've got Logan who is in the trenches of middle school. God bless that boy. Middle school has been a roller coaster for him. Please, if you ever are influenced by anything I say, PLEASE teach your kids to be kind. Middle school kids can be awful and it's so hard. I never know what to say, how to handle it, or how to support Logan, but we're trying and surviving this awful part of childhood. And we've got our high schooler. Kamryn's practically got one foot out the door, yet I still look at her and see my little girl. She's on the brink of figuring out who she is and is really coming into her own. Right now, she just needs me for rides, but I love those car rides more than you know. I wear a lot of different hats because it's so important to me to be very active in all my kids' lives. With 6 that's not always easy but sometimes that means the whole blogging/content creator thing needs to be put on the back burner. Which is fine with me. I like the slow and steady burn. I'm like the little engine that could. We will get there...just not this week.

I'm feeling a little discouraged today so I'm coming to you to ask what would you like to see here? You can DM me on Instagram, leave a comment here, on Facebook, etc. It would be so helpful to me! 

Okay, off to ride my peloton before Archie wakes up! 

Have the best day!
