A bad idea maybe...

I was so over going to and from the hospital and Keenan was on spring break, Damon at the child center still so I wanted to venture out with the boys to a park. I had intended to go to Washington Park by the zoo but my friend Kimberly said let's go to a park in Mcminnville. Terrible idea since I was already planning to go to the library to a minecraft activity and they were in completly differnt directions. But I had already let her down the other day. So I said yes and as soon as I did I regretted it! Why do I want to drive 45 minutes to a park opposite direction of where I want to go? But like I said I had already let her down. So off we went. I was about 15 minutes later then I told her. I get a text from her "I take it your bailing on me again" and that was it. I wanted so bad to turn around and drive home! I had a new baby that came home the day before and I was actually getting out and going places. Not only that but it had been a week and a half since birthing a baby! So I wasn't in a completly normal state. Why am I so bugged by this? But I am! And it still bugs me. I don't have time for  a needy friendship. That's hard. I hardly have enough time for my own family! But we dis it and then we went to minecraft activity at the library. That was a disaster too. So many kids, not enough craft peices, and Adalyn needed to eat! I kept my cool and we just took it home and did it there.
My main thing I was worried about after having a baby was being inpatient with the other kids. I felt like I was starting to get a grasp on that part of my life and it would all start over again. I feel so blessed to have not had those feelings. I have tried to be patient and go on my clues of needing sleep and knowing when I'm going to lose it. Life with 4 is not any harder then it was with 3. Three was a hard adjustment.

She is so cute! I think she has a lot of you in her. That is great that four hasn't been too bad on you. I felt like four put me over the top but it wasn't until my baby was about 6 months old that I realized much of a difference. Oh and we are that rowdy family at church too. I have to apologize to the family behind and in front of us every week. Ugh!
