We had a very big moment today. I tackled the store with 4 little boys one being a newborn. Yep this moment is always a happy moment with each of my kids, cause it shows the confident, fearless, adjusted side of me that seems to take be weakened after having a baby. It's no easy task adding one more child to the mix, but in time I always seem to adjust to the new norm. Its these moments that have me to believe that I am well on my way to adjusting back into the swing of things with yet another little boy in tow.

wow Good job Keri! I think it is hard enough with one and I have even done with two and that is also hard but we do we somehow manage. Yeah I get to see what it is like to go to my doctor with two today!Yay! not really but we moms got to do what we got to do! love ya stay strong you are doing awesome!
i remember telling a friend who was a late-age first time mother like me "just wait 'til you get to go to the grocery store by yourself-you will think you have died and gone to heaven" she looked at me like i was crazy-but six months later she called me while at the store alone and just sighed-said it was the best day of her life! grocery stores are so much more fun alone-but good for you handling 4! if i took all four girls i usually wound up leaving one there!
Hey girl
I'm so proud of you and what you have been through. I'm sorry I'm not around to see the boys. I miss all of you soo much
Awe, so confident! Not this mama! Like Joanna I was, I can't wait until I can go into the store by myself. Until then my husband is not going to get off the hook. He is a mandatory sidekick when I do big shoping trips - he helped make them, he can help get the food to feed them. Why? Because on the times I have ventured to do 4 by myself I come back wishing that I had left all behind so that the store calls me to have them returned so that I can say I charge $1000.00 per child for returns. Awe wouldn't that be a nice monthly paycheck, go to the store, spend hundreds and come back with a $4000.00 increase. Now that would make those 4 kids worth bringing to the store! :-) LOL! Yeah, I know, I am not looking on the bright side of things, but Oh well, 'tis the NOT-joy of this mamma to be the one that everyone stairs at and judges with the, "I will/would never..." But if you are willing... You go girl! I'll keep doing my tag team with Jess so that I don't get the temptation to sell my kids more than I do every day and I'll keep praying that one day I'll get to do it by myself again! :-)
