So I am sitting here and looking at my gorgeous new daughter and listening to my 3 older daughters fight over who is going to feed the dog and let her out, and all I can think is how lucky I am to have all this chaos in my life. Sophia, my 1 month old, has been a very good baby so far, but today, she has been a little fussy. We had a big day of taking big sister to preschool, picking her up and then long trips to Target and Wal-Mart! It was a long afternoon to say the least. I had to breastfeed her once in the car and then again in the dressing rooms at Target and got her to sleep for a bit on the way home and she was starving when we got here. I don't think she has been at all comfortable all afternoon, but aside from the fussiness she was a trooper. Now that we are snuggled in at home, she is getting feisty again and as tired as I am, and as obnoxious and the dogs are being and as absent as my hubby is (I think he is hiding in the office), I still feel so good to have all this insanity around me. I really want to go to bed, Advil PM and my bed are calling me, but I know I have at least 2 hours until I can close my eyes for as much as 2 hours. I wouldn't say that I thrive on chaos or that I am glutton for punishment, but when I think about how quiet my life would be without my kids, hubby and animals, it's scary and lonely. Ah, the monsters are descending, bedtime awaits....until next time.....Happy chaos to all and I hope you all are as lucky as I am to have a lifetime of chaotic insanity ahead of you!
