the story of me

Five and a half years ago Landon was born and I was so excited to stay home with my new little guy!  A week after he was born I new I would be bored with just one kid so McKinna and Bodin came over to play with us while Shani was at work, I loved it.  Then anther kid came and another and another and Van and another well there are lots of others, and then of course Gunner and Roman.  I enjoyed them all!  After five-ish years I can say I learned a lot, my patience have been tried and I am ready to challenge myself in other ways.  I have always known that when my kids got older I would go back to school but I decided that now was the time!  So, my revolving front door has stopped spinning.  When my post are few and far between its because I am spending my time studying, sitting in class or working on childcare schedules!  But, after two months I can say I am happy that I made this choice, I love challenging myself in these new ways.  It has been a challenge finding the balance of school and life, Landon's homework, school,and soccer, Gunners naps, and all his other things, Romans only child hold me so I can eat your papers, and of course Vans many, many adventures.  I have learned that the only thing worse than not getting sleep with a baby is going to school M-F getting home in time to do homework for an hour or two before Gunner gets up at his normal one o'clock help me find my pacifier tantrum, then to bed for what feels like a power nap since Van is a very early riser!  I can also say that I would never have gotten done with the last two months if my I didn't have help from some awesome people.  Mom you have been such a huge help with my can you watch my kids NOW calls or Landon has soccer and Jason can't take him. Dad I still can't believe you came to watch them and call sometimes to see if I need help!  I have to say Jason has done great at being an only parent every night.  Thanks everyone for all your help, we appreciate it more than you know :)
